Posted on September 2, 2021 by A Dreamer

Morning got here extra early

Posted on August 30, 2021 by A Dreamer

Tow company came to pick up my dear old Jeep – they called yesterday and said I was first on the pickup list, scheduled for 6AM. Ouch. He rolled up at 5-ohmygod-30. But, I’d set my alarm, I was already … Continue reading →

Gawd, sleep is good

Posted on August 16, 2021 by A Dreamer

Defund them all…

Posted on April 12, 2021 by A Dreamer

Windsor, Virginia

Posted on April 11, 2021 by A Dreamer

You made it to another Friday!

Posted on March 26, 2021 by A Dreamer

Congrats on getting through all the fuckery, and remember, no matter how many mistakes you made, you didn’t jam a boat sideways in the Suez Canal. In local vaccine news, our numbers are starting to improve a bit. The waitlist … Continue reading →
