I got my hands up, they’re playin’ my song

Shawshank, April 29, 2024

Hey all. It’s a mostly bright, and just slightly breezy out there. Sadly though, this’ll be the best of the best weather wise. It’s supposed to rain for the rest of the week. “I hear we’re getting rain for the rest of the week.” I reply, “yep. I’m not too…
