The people you meet in sleazy bars are unemcumbered by any pretension which allows you to immediately find the soul of a place. There […]
Let me say this about that. It has been said that “Life is hard, and then you die.” It’s true that our time on this planet has it’s challenges and sometimes can be downright disheartening. But every now and again, we see something sooooo funny that we nearly wet our pants – and the world turns […]
