drugless hallucination

Talking last night with Jenny about driving through the Palouse region out west. It’s a little south of some property in Idaho where my father spent some of his growing up years. Talk about something that’s so breathtakingly beautiful that … Continue reading →

little stuff in a big, big box

We order stuff from Amazon. We shop at Wal-Mart. Shoot. Sometimes, when we get our package from Amazon, it’s a really small item in a big, big box. That’s crazy. It’s worse than McDonald’s with the packaging. So much stuff … Continue reading →
