Hello everyone!<br>My name is Colin and I have been working on collecting the best articles and essays on the internet into a single place called “ponder.”<br>This is the first newsletter of many which will be released on M, W, F and then a summary release on Sunday. The newsletter will include 3 trending articles on ponder. 2 from the current month, and then 1 from the “archives” or really anything before the current month.<br>The first article on this newsletter is a current favorite of mine. It is beautifully written and nostalgic. I feel like the writer is a friend of mine giving me advice.<br>The second article is a must-read for anyone who lives, drives and walks in America.<br>The third is an in depth page-turner. I’ll leave it at that!<br>On Sundays I hope to include personal notes about my favorites from the week, my life and my current obsessions.<br>Thanks you for reading!<br>Colin<br>Curated by Colin at ponder
