This is a really fun story idea, and a reminder that the train from Philly to Atlantic City is just 90 minutes and only costs $25 round trip. In a car you pay almost the same amount in tolls!

I only got to see Dolly play in person once, but it was absolutely perfect: during Pride, in Forest Hills, with half the crowd dressed up like her, including me. She played a tiny bedazzled saxophone. Goddamnit she was great.

I feel very honored by how many people have contacted me to share in their grief about Dolly Parton. I think that means I'm living some parts of my life right.

I do think pinning this on specifically Taco Bell is weird since many confirmed cases aren’t people who ate at Taco Bell at all and we know the actual source—Taylor Farms—distributes lettuce and other produce to many, many other large food businesses
