Finger paint the sun

Shawshank, August 27, 2020

Since it’s Thursday, the second hand store is open. I usually go and check out what books they have. I’ll pick up a book, and then put it down – leaving it to fate. If it’s there the next time I go in, I’ll pick it up. On Tuesday, there…

Shawshank, August 25, 2020

Guten Tag. Ich bin Eddie. Ich hab Brot und Wasser. Willkommen! That’s for all my new friends from Germany that have been visiting my site and poking around. Well good morning. Happy Tuesday. It’s overcast here this morning, but it’s supposed to get sunny, and hotter in a few hours….
