excuse me, I am brain dead today. The 10-hour shifts are catching up with me and I have had to resort to a thesaurus to find the words my memory won’t share with me.
This news item exemplifies one of the reasons I had wanted to leave Dallas for so long. The caption reads, “Preservation officials […]
I couldn’t resist ignoring my paperwork on Saturday to take a short walk in the sunshine. There’s an old skateboard park nearby that I’d been wanting to shoot and I thought I’d best get over there asap as the bulldozers arrived last week and are busy demolishing the parking lot.
