These companies aren’t normal because nothing about making things in America is normal. These businesses are special.
Because the nerds need to know, here’s what I use for a Travel Journal — The no-longer produced Pelle Journal. Perfect for the task. Other fun fact: I always write my travel entries in brown ink. With the cream colored paper it seems more “travelly” to me.
You should be reading Rebecca Toh. All of it. Everything. Always.
