I’ve been thinking a lot about water these days, so today’s Photo Hunt is appropriate.

My street is a very busy one, and now that it’s summer, most cars are filled with tone-deaf teenage boys, blasting their monkey music to try to impress the Phentermine-laden teenage girls walking the streets. There is supposed to be an ordinance in [...]

We have rodeo here in Upstate New York. There are actually a huge number of rodeo events and fans, particularly in the agricultural eastern end of the state. I never knew New York had rodeos; I thought these events were always specifically reserved for the southwest. Of course, when one thinks of rodeo, the hilly, [...]

It may be hard to believe such [...]
