Dale offers a series of meditations about branches in multiple forms. Whether it’s an avenue of research into the history of a Grape Nuts cereal spokesperson from the 1970s or the tiny beneficial rivers that flow within our own bodies – he’s been thinking about it a lot. He shares a story about warping into a seasonal gourd and a moment from his childhood when he found himself lost and alone inside a giant human heart. He offers some reflections on ways Philadelphia could do better with its historical destinations, and suggests that the path of least resistance is not always best, but he wishes it were, because he really hates making left hand turns.

With references to Euell Gibbons, the Betsy Ross historic site, the Franklin Institute, and the best commercial jingle ever written about a city. Not all branches connect, and that’s…ok.
