>> COMING UP NEXT ON ARIZONA HORIZON: THE AVIAN FLU HAS ALL, BUT ERADICATED THE HEN POPULATION AT HICKMAN'S FAMILY FARMS IN THE WEST VALLEY.
ALSO, WHY AN EXPERT BELIEVES IT'S TIME TO CHANGE THE WESTERN CENTRIC PERSPECTIVE ON PALEOANTHROPOLOGY.
AND WE'LL TALK THE OWNER OF A MOBILE BOOKSTORE IN THE WEST VALLEY.
THOSE STORIES AND MORE, NEXT ON ARIZONA HORIZON.
>> GOOD EVENING, AND WELCOME TO ARIZONA HORIZON.
I'M CHRISTINA ESTES, FILLING IN FOR TED SIMONS.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP SAID TODAY THAT HE WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED IN ELON MUSK'S CRITICISM OF TRUMP'S SO-CALLED "BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL."
>> HE KNEW EVERY ASPECT THIS BILL, HE KNEW IT BETTER THAN ALMOST EVERYBODY, AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM UNTIL RIGHT AFTER HE LEFT.
IN A REALTIME RESPONSE ON "X," MUSK REPLIED BY SAYING, QUOTE, "FALSE THIS BILL WAS NEVER SHOWN TO ME EVEN ONCE AND WAS PASSED IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT SO FAST THAT ALMOST NO ONE IN CONGRESS COULD EVEN READ IT!"
TRUMP RESPONDED BY SAYING “THE EASIEST WAY TO SAVE MONEY IN OUR BUDGET, BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, IS TO TERMINATE ELON’S GOVERNMENTAL SUBSIDIES AND CONTRACTS.” >> PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS CALLED FOR ANOTHER TRAVEL BAN.
IT INCLUDES AFGHANISTAN, MYANMAR, IRAN, YEMEN AND OTHER MUSLIM-MAJORITY COUNTRIES.
HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT INCLUDE EGYPT, THE HOME COUNTRY OF THE MAN ACCUSED OF INJURING MORE THAN A DOZEN PEOPLE IN SUNDAY'S ATTACK IN BOULDER COLORADO.
>>Y GIANT BEEN A COUNTRY THAT WE DEAL WITH VERY CLOSELY.
THEY HAVE THINGS UNDER CONTROL.
THE COUNTRIES THAT WE HAVE DON'T HAVE THINGS UNDER CONTROL, AND WHY NOW?
I CAN SAY THAT IT CAN'T COME SOON ENOUGH, FRANKLY.
WE WANT TO KEEP BAD PEOPLE OUT OF OUR COUNTRY >> AND ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY'S CRONKITE SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM HAS RECEIVED IT'S BIGGEST SINGLE DONATION EVER, 10 AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS TO DEVELOP REPORTING INNOVATIONS IN REPORTING AND FUND NEWS ORGANIZATIONS.
THE KNIGHT CENTER FOR THE FUTURE OF NEWS IS PROVIDING THE FUNDING AND ASU WILL PITCH IN ANOTHER $4 MILLION.
MILLION.
THE "KNGHT CENTER" WILL SERVE AS A HUB FOR NATIONAL RESEARCH EXPERIMENTATION AND SOLUTIONS FOR SOME OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES FACING JOURNALISM.
THE CENTER WILL FEATURE SEVERAL LABS DESIGNED TO BUILD TRUST IN JOURNALISM, EXPLORE REVENUE MODELS TO FUND REPORTING, AND EXPAND INNOVATIVE STORYTELLING.
THE LARGEST EGG PRODUCER IN THE SOUTHWEST SAYS A VACCINE APPROVED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT COULD HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED THE IMPACT OF BIRD FLU ON ITS ARIZONA OPERATIONS.
JOINING US TO DISCUSS THE COMPANY'S BIRD FLU OUTBREAK IS GLENN HICKMAN, THE PRESIDENT OF HICKMAN'S FAMILY FARMS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING IN.
>> MY PLEASURE.
>> SO A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO YOU NOTICED SOME STRANGE THINGS.
WHAT HAPPENED?
>> ON MAY 14th, WE STARTED TO SEE AN UPTICK IN MORTALITY IN ONE OF THE BARNS AND BIT 15th, WE TOOK IN SWABS TO THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA'S LAB IN TUCSON AND THEY CAME BACK POSITIVE FOR BIRD FLU ON THE 16th.
SINCE THAT TIME WE'VE BEEN DEPOPULATING THAT FARM, AND NOW WE'VE GOT THREE OTHER FARMS DETECTED.
>> SOME PEOPLE MIGHT BE SURPRISED TO HEAR THAT THERE'S ACTUALLY A VACCINE FOR THE BIRD FLU.
BUT YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO ACCESS IT, WHY?
>> IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING.
THIS VACCINE WAS -- STARTED BEING MANUFACTURED TWO YEARS AGO IN OUR COUNTRY, AND IT'S BEING SHIPPED TO EUROPE TO PROTECT THOSE FARMERS.
WE'RE UNABLE TO BUY THAT VACCINE TO PROTECT OUR STOCK.
>>> IT'S A TYPICAL WASHINGTON D.C. QUAGMIRE.
>> SO A USDA PERSON SAID TO NEWSWEEK WILL ARE CONTEXT PSYCHIATRIST CAN ASPECTS TO DO WITH SURVEILLANCE AND TRADE RAMIFICATIONS.
>> I THINK THE HONEST PART OF IT IS SPEAKING TO THE TRADE RAMIFICATIONS.
THE MEAT BIRD INDUSTRY DOESN'T WANT VACCINES TO GET STARTED IN THE UNITED STATES.
THEY'RE THE ONES BLOCKING IT.
THE REST OF THE STATEMENT IS COMPLETELY UNTRUE.
WE VACCINATE OUR BIRDS RIGHT NOW THIS WOULD JUST BE ADDED TO THAT VACCINATION PACKAGE.
IT WOULD REQUIRE NO EXTRA HANDLING OR NO EXTRA DISTRESS TO THE BIRD.
>> WHY DO YOU SAY THE MEAT POULTRY INDUSTRY DOES NOT WANT IT?
>> THERE WOULD BE COUNTRIES THAT IF THEY VACCINATED THEIR CHICKENS WOULD PRECLUDE THEM FROM SHIPPING CHICKEN MEAT INTO THEIR COUNTRIES.
THAT'S A WAY FOR THE CHICKEN INDUSTRY TO REMOVE THEIR SURPLUS SO THAT THEY CAN DUMP THOSE SURPLUSES OVERSEAS AND KEEP THE DOMESTIC PRICES HIGHER.
>> WHY DO YOU THINK THE MEAT POULTRY INDUSTRY HAS NOT BEEN AS IMPACTED BY BIRD FLU AS YOU HAVE?
>> SURE.
THE MEAT WE SEE IN THE GROCERY STORE IS ABOUT FIVE WEEKS OF AGE.
SO THERE'S SOME THOUGHT THAT THERE IS SOME MATERNAL PROTECTION BECAUSE THAT BIRD IS SO YOUNG.
SO THEY HAVE BEEN LARGELY SKIPPED WHEN IT COMES TO BIRD FLU, THE COMMERCIAL DUCK INDUSTRY, THE TURKEY INDUSTRY AND CERTAINLY THE LAYER INDUSTRY.
TOGETHER WE'VE LOST 170 MILLION BIRDS SINCE THE FIRE STARTED THREE YEARS AGO.
>> IN YOUR CASE, THE FLU COST 95% OF YOUR POPULATION IN THE WEST VALLEY, THAT RIGHT?
>> THAT'S RIGHT, WE PREVIOUSLY LOST OUR FARM IN MARICOPA BACK IN THE LATE WINTER EARLY SPRING, AND WE JUST STARTED TO REPOPULATE THAT FARM WHEN OUR WESTERN FARMS GOT HIT.
>> WHAT WOULD THAT DO TO PRICE AS SOON AS.
>> YOU KNOW, WHILE WE'RE FAIRLY LARGE IN OUR GEOGRAPHIC AREA, THE EGG MARKET IS THE NATIONAL MARKET, AND SO WE HAVE ABOUT 6 MILLION OF THE 330 MILLION BIRDS CAPACITY.
SO LOSING OUR BIRDS PROBABLY WON'T AFFECT THE MARKET MUCH.
>> IT DOES AFFECT YOUR OPERATION CERTAINLY AND AFFECTS OTHER PEOPLE BEYOND THE FAMILY THAT OWNS AND OPERATES THE FARM.
HOW MANY EMPLOYEES, AND WHAT'S THE IMPACT WITH THEM?
>> YEAH, OBVIOUSLY WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DOWNSIZE QUITE A BIT.
SO WE HAD PRIOR TO THIS ABOUT 850 WORKERS.
SOME OF THOSE WERE CONTRACT WORKERS.
THEY'VE BEEN LET GO.
SOME OF THOSE WERE INMATE WORKERS AS PART OF OUR 30-YEAR PROGRAM WE'VE HAD WITH THE ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS.
WE'RE PROUD OF THAT PROGRAM.
WE'VE PAID OVER $10 MILLION HOURS OF INMATE LABOR, AND WE'VE LITERALLY HAD THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE GO THROUGH THE PROGRAM.
IT WILL ALSO AFFECT SOME OF OUR CIVILIAN LABOR.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO LAY OFF SOME FOLKS THAT, YOU KNOW, FRANK SRI BEEN AROUND ALMOST AS LONG AS I HAVE.
>> YOU'VE SAID IT WILL TAKE ABOUT TWO YEARS TO REGAIN THE SCIENCE OF YOUR FLOCK, IS THAT CORRECT?
>> RIGHT.
NORMALLY WE REPLACE OUR FLOCK ABOUT EVERY TWO YEARS OR 20 MONTHS, SO THAT'S WHAT OUR REARING FACILITIES ARE GEARED TO SUPPORT.
SO IT'LL TAKE US ABOUT 20 MONTHS TO FULLY RESTOCK THE FARMS.
>> GIVEN CUTS THAT WE'VE SEEN AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL IN TERMS OF RESEARCH AND DISEASE PREVENTION PROJECTS, HOW WIDELY DO YOU THINK YOU'LL EVER HAVE ACCESS TO THE BIRD FLU VACCINE?
>> SO, CHRISTINA, THE RESEARCH IS DONE.
THE MANUFACTURING IS DONE.
THE LICENSE SOMETHING DONE.
ALL WE NEED TO DO IS ISSUE A PO AND PURCHASE THE VACCINE.
>> HOW CONFIDENT ARE YOU THAT WILL YOU GET ACCESS TO THAT VACCINE OR SOMETHING ELSE THAT COMES UP NOT JUST BIRD FLU?
>> EVENTUALLY PEOPLE NEED TO GET THEIR HEAD OUT OF THE SAND, IF WE WANT TO DO SOMETHING SAFE DAY IN AND DAY OUT, WE HAVE TO PROTECT THE PRODUCTION STREAM.
VACCINE IS THE ONLY WAY TO DO IT.
THIS IS NO LONGER A SEASONAL CHALLENGE, THIS IS AN ENDEMIC IN OUR ENVIRONMENT, AND WHETHER YOU'RE IN MICHIGAN OR IN MESA, YOU'VE GOTTA A CHANCE TO HAVE BIRD FLU IN YOUR FLOCK.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING TIME.
I KNOW IT'S A VERY CHALLENGING TIME FOR YOU.
WE APPRECIATE YOU COMING IN AND SPEAKING WITH US.
>> THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.
A LEADING ETHIOPIAN FOSSIL EXPERT SAYS IT'S TIME TO DECOLONIZE PALEOANTHROPOLOGY.
THAT EXPERT IS DR. YOHANNES HAILE-SELASSIE, HE'S DIRECTOR OF THE INSTITUTE OF HUMAN ORIGINS AT ASU.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR COMING IN.
>> MY PLEASURE.
AND LET ME APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE, IF I MESSED UP THAT BIG TITLE OF YOUR NAME AS WELL AS WHAT YOU STUDY.
THAT'S A MOUTHFUL.
SO I'M GONNA START BY HAVING YOU EXPLAIN, WHAT IS PALEO ANTHROPOLOGY, PLEASE.
>> SO, IT'S ONE OF THE SUBJECTS OF ANTHROPOLOGY WHICH STUDIES THE HUMAN PAST FOR -- I'M NOT TALKING LIKE TWO GENERATIONS BUT FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS THROUGH LIKE BIOLOGICAL, CULTURAL AND BEHAVIORAL CHANGES THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN MILLIONS OF YEARS THE RELIES ON POTHOLES AND ARTIFACTS AND WE TRY TO DISTRACT OUR HISTORY FROM THE PAST, THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
>> THE INSTITUTE YOU LEAD AT ASU PLAY AS SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN STUDYING AND PRESERVING THE LEGACY OF LUCY.
WHO'S LUCE SNOW.
>> LUCY IS A 3.2 MILLION-YEAR-OLD PARTIAL SKELETON OF AN ANCESTOR THAT WAS FOUND YEARS AGO.
LAST YEAR WE CELEBRATED THE ANNIVERSARY OF LUCY AND SHE WAS FOUND BY THE PROFESSOR AND HAS BEEN AN ICON IN OUR FIELD, AND SHE IS REALLY DEFINED EVERYTHING IN HISSRY.
SO EVERYBODY KNOWS LUCY, AND I'M GLAD I HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN WHO SHE IS, AND SHE HAS TWO NAMES.
>> YOU WERE 14 YEARS OLD LIVING IN ETHIOPIA WHEN SHE WAS DISCOVERED.
WHAT LED YOU TO STUDY ANTHROPOLOGY?
S. WHEN I WAS 14, I DIDN'T REALLY UNDERSTAND.
BUT I WAS A HISTORY MAJOR AND I HAD TO TAKE UP A FEW ARCHEOLOGY COURSES AND THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I HEARD THE NAME LUCY.
SO AFTER I GRADUATED, I WAS ASSIGNED TO WORK FOR THE MINISTER CULTURE, AND THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE ACTUAL FOSSILS.
I GOT REALLY INTERESTED, AND I STARTED GOING OUT WITH OTHER ANTHROPOLOGISTS IN THE FIELD AND APPARENTLY I WAS FINDING GOOD POTHOLES AND I GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO PURSUE MY PASSION IN PALEOANTHROPOLOGY, AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS HISTORY.
>> AND YOU YOUR COLLEAGUES HAVE BEEN CALLING FOR IT TO BE DECOLONIZED, WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?
>> IT'S A VERY POWERFUL STATEMENT.
AND IN SOME WAYS, IT'S SCARY.
BUT IT COMES AMID ASKING FOR INCLUSIVITY, RIGHT.
HISTORICALLY ANTHROPOLOGY, THE BEGINNING OF ANTHROPOLOGY RESEARCH IN AFRICA STARTED WITH THE BEGINNING OF COLONIZATION IN AFRICA.
AND ALL THE STUDIES WERE MADE BY NON-NATIVE AFRICANS AND THEY WERE ALSO MADE BY NON-AFRICAN NATIVES AND THEY WERE EXCLUDED FROM TELLING THE STORY.
AND THAT HAS BEEN THE CASE FOR DECADES, UNTIL LIKE THE LAST 30 YEARS.
SO BASICALLY DECOLONIZING IS ABOUT BEING INCLUSIVE, ABOUT ENABLING EVERY ONE OF US HUMANS, BEING ABLE TO TELL THE STORY, THE HUMAN STORY, AND NOT JUST HEARSAY.
SO IT'S A REQUEST FOR THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE THAT OUR HISTORY SHOULD BE TOLD BY ALL OF US, AND NOT EXCLUSIVELY THE FEW SCIENTISTS FROM CERTAIN PARTS OF THE WORLD.
SO BIBLICALLY, INCLUSIVITY IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR A WHILE NOW.
AND A LOT OF PEOPLE REALLY UNDERSTAND IT AND THE FACT THAT IT IS CALLED DECOLONIZING HAS IN FACT THE ATTENTION OF A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY AND ALSO ON THE PUBLIC AT LARGE.
>> HOW DO YOU THINK INCREASING SUPPORT FOR AFRICAN-BORN PALEOANTHROPOLOGISTS COULD LEAD TO IMPORTANT DISCOVERIES?
>> BASICALLY, THOSE AFRICAN-BORN SCHOLARS THAT WE HAVE HAVE BEEN MAKING A LOT OF DISCOVERIES IN VARIOUS PARTS OF AFRICA ALREADY.
THE KEY QUESTION IS, WHEN IT COMES TO EQUITY IN PUBLICATIONS, LEAVING PUBLICATIONS OR SECURING FUNDING, AND YOU KNOW, HOW THINGS ARE DEFINED, THAT'S WHERE WE LACK THAT COLLABORATION BETWEEN AFRICAN SCHOLARS AND OTHERS.
SO BASICALLY WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS NOT JUST TRAINING INDIVIDUAL LOCAL SCHOLARS, BUT HAVING COLLABORATION AT AN INSTITUTION LEVEL WITH COUNTRIES WHO HAVE ALL OF THESE RESOURCES, RIGHT.
THEY HAVE THE RESOURCES, AND WE DON'T WANT LIKE RESEARCHERS TO ACTUALLY EXTRACT THE RESOURCES FROM THEM AND SEND THEM SOMEWHERE ELSE -- STUDY SOMEWHERE ELSE BUT INSTEAD HAVE THE FACILITY WILL TO STUDY THOSE FOSSILS THAT RERECOVER AND INCORPORATE LOCAL SCHOLARS WITH THEM SO THAT THEY CAN TOGETHER TELL THE STORY.
>> WHAT DO YOU HOPE THE FUTURE OF PALEOANTHROPOLOGY LOOKS LIKE IN ETHIOPIA?
>> I THINK WE'RE FAR AHEAD IN TERMS OF THE PALEO SCIENCE STRUCTURE BECAUSE OF LUCY.
LIKE I SAID, SHE IS THE EMBLEM OF THE COUNTRY, PARTICULARLY WHEN IT COMES TO TOURISM.
AND LUCE SEE ONE OF THE REASONS WHY ETHIOPIA CALLS ITSELF THE LAND OF ORIGIN AND THEY HAVE BEEN BUILDING LABORATORIES FOR ANTHROPOLOGY AND NOW WE HAVE SO MANY WHO ARE TRAINED AT PRESIDENT HD LEVEL AND THEY'RE IN THE FUTURE FOR THIS.
AND WE WANT TO SEE OTHER AFRICAN COUNTRIES TO JOIN US WITH ALL THE RESOURCES THAT THEY HAVE.
>> THANK YOU FOR COMING IN.
I WAS ABLE TO UNDERSTAND YOU, I DON'T MEAN BY ANY ACCENT, BUT I MEAN ALL OF THE BIG WORDS.
SOMETIMES IT GOES OVER MY HEAD.
SO THANK YOU SO MUCH, YOU'VE DONE A WONDERFUL JOB FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME, DIRECTOR OF THE INSTITUTE OF THE HUMAN ORIGINS AT ASU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> YOU'RE WELCOME.
A VALLEY HEALTHCARE WORKER IS PRESCRIBING JOY THROUGH A MOBILE BOOKSTORE.

MY SISTER HAS BEEN JUST WONDERFUL IN HELPING ME WITH INVENTORY ORDERING, ALL OF THAT GREAT STUFF.
MY HUSBAND, MY PARENTS, I'VE JUST GOT A LOT OF SUPPORT.
>> WHY DO YOU LOVE BOOKS SO MUCH?
>> IT'S JUST -- YOU KNOW, I JUST LOVE, YOU KNOW, JUST READING DIFFERENT STORIES AND JUST HAVING THAT ESCAPE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE WORK THAT I DO.
>> YOU'RE LIKE ME, I LIKE BOOKS SOMETIMES MUCH MORE THAN MOVIES.
>> YES.
ABSOLUTELY.
>> I THINK THAT'S JUST -- YEAH, A BOOK IS ALWAYS BETTER.
>> WHY IS IT FOR YOU?
A BOOK BETTER THAN A MOVIE?
>> I THINK IT'S BECAUSE YOU GILL YOUR IMAGINATION AND THOUGHTS, AND I THINK YOU HAVE A PERSONAL CONNECTION WHEN YOU ACTUALLY READ THE STORY, NOT THAT THE MOVIE IS TERRIBLE, BUT I DON'T KNOW.
I THINK THAT'S JUST HOW I AM.
>> I AGREE WITH THAT.
ON INDEPENDENT BOOKSTORE DAY, YOU PARKED THE BOOK HAUL AT THE PARKING LOT OF CHANGING HANDS BOOKSTORE, A WONDERFUL, INDEPENDENT BOOKSTORE.
HOW DID THAT GO, AND THEN WHAT DID THAT LEAD TO IN TERMS OF EXPOSURE AND -- >> THAT WAS SUCH AN AMAZING EVENT.
I HAD THIS IDEA THAT OH, WE'LL STOP BY AND BROWSE, BUT THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE WHO CAME OUT AND WANTED TO SUPPORT NOT ONLY CHANGING HANDS BUT MY BOOKSTORE AS WELL AND ANOTHER BOOKSTORE THAT WAS OUT THERE THAT WAS JUST AMAZING TO SEE THE TURN-OUT, THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT WERE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT THE BOOK HAUL.
>> TYPICALLY I'M AT FARMERS MARKETS, JUST ON SATURDAYS FOR NOW, BECAUSE OF THE HEAT, IF WILL YOU.
>> IF YOU'RE WORKING SEVEN DAYS A WEEK IN THE HEAT, THAT'S A LITTLE MUCH.
>> YEAH, THAT'S A LITTLE MUCH.
>> DO YOU EVEN HAVE TIME TO READ?
>> I DO.
I FIND -- LIKE MY PHYSICAL BOOKS I LIKE TO READ WHILE I'M AT HOME, WINDING DOWN AT THE END.
DAY, BUT I ALWAYS HAVE MY PHONE WITH ME AND I'LL TRY TO READ BETWEEN PATIENTS AND ON LUNCH, THERE'S ALWAYS TIME TO READ.
>> DO YOU HAVE -- I DON'T LIKE GETTING THESE KINDS OF QUESTIONS, I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M EVEN ASKING YOU BUT DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE YOU'D LIKE TO NAME OR SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE READING NOW THAT YOU PARTICULARLY LIKE?
>> RIGHT NOW I'M VERY MUCH INTO FAN EASY.
I READ A FEW SERIES LATE THREE HAVE -- PANT EASY.
I'VE READ A FEW SERIES THAT HAVE STUCK OUT  -- FANTASY.
I'M WAITING FOR THE LAST BOOK TO COME OUT.
>> WE HAVE ABOUT 30 SECONDS LEFT, I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO JUST SHARE AN EXPERIENCE THAT YOU'VE HAD AS THE OWNER OF THE BOOK HAUL.
LIKE, DO PEOPLE -- ARE THEY SURPRISED, DO THEY COME IN -- BECAUSE IT'S SO MUCH WORK IF YOU ALREADY IS A FULL-TIME JOB?
>> YEAH.
BECAUSE I WANT TO KIND OF JUST SHARE MY LOVE FOR READING AND SHARE MY LOVE FOR BOOKS LIKE TANGIBLE ITEMS LIKE SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
I JUST REALLY APPRECIATE SEEING PEOPLE'S REACTION WHEN THEY COME INTO THE BOOKSTORE, JUST BECAUSE LIKE THE FLOOR IS JUST BOOK PAGES AND I LOVE SEEING THEIR REACTION.
>> WHERE CAN PEOPLE FIND YOU.
>> THIS SATURDAY I'LL BE AT ARROWHEAD FARMERS MARKET FROM 8:00 TO 11:00.
