And it's funny because everybody is sitting there.

There's like 20 cats.

No other cats.

I mean, cats are coming by.

They're saying hello, but none of them are just sitting on top of anyone else but Mary.

And Mary was laughing and she said, you know, this cat looks like Kenya too.

Crazy.

Also, Mary is a huge activist.

So a lot of videos out there of her, you know, it was...

It was actually hard for us to gauge Mary's personality outside of her work because she's so, I mean, activism is at the forefront of everything and that's mainly what she talks about.

But it's like hanging out with your mom or your grandma, depending on, I guess, your age.

And she's a grandmother, so I don't think she's going to be offended by me calling her that.

She insisted that since, you know, the RMT were in Bellingham, that we visit Village Bookstore.

It's probably like one of the cutest bookstores in existence.

Mary did book signings there for her book and the employees already knew her.

She just has this very maternal energy about her.

Everything she does, she goes over and beyond for everyone, for her family, for her children, for her foster kids, for her child patients, for her friends, even for the RM team.

And another element is we were on Reddit and a lot of people were saying that when you read some parts of Mary's book,

they thought that her memories sounded too vague.

She doesn't want to mention specifics.
