Posted on August 22, 2019 by

Not the Fast and Furious, but Rather the Weird and the Wild

Posted on May 28, 2019 by

Is it just me, or all bus rides full of weirdoes? I want to believe I am not alone, but sometimes it is so hard. Okay, I might have to allow that my threshold for weirdoes is quite low. What … Continue reading →

Acquaintances

Posted on April 30, 2019 by

The Trees at Dawn

When the Bus Door Opens to Random

Posted on April 12, 2019 by
