    This week on SOSS Street, Amy declares she’s a birder now that summer has finally shown up. Animal Report: Baby crows and baby bunnies in Maya’s backyard. Amy has deer hanging with coyotes in her yard. It’s animal city up in here. Amy goes to the garden center. Remember when we used to spend all day at the community pool in the summer in the 80s and only eat a frozen Snickers? What was normal for us as kids is very not normal now. We were latchkey kids! Amy wonders how she ever knew when to go home. Our parents were unworried, unbothered, and unreasonable. Ahhh, the 80s, when the dads were mad, and the children were free. Maya and Producer Tyler went shopping for traditional outfits. Maya reviews Marty Supreme, and she’s never hated a movie more. Amy reviews The Place Beyond the Pines.

She runs into a situation where a nail tech demanded to know who did such a bad job on her nails, and it was that nail tech. Then she shamed Amy for not identifying her as the offender. What a weird flex. Amy took a week off for her birthday and shopped all over town. She did Facebook Marketplace and wowed this woman by loading a whole yard swing into her car. She showed this woman what was possible with some tools and a dream. Maya recounts giving away a bed in her Buy Nothing group. The ladies reminisce about paper map books for the car.
