Dispatches from the Fair
A few weeks ago, The Family Unit and I made our annual trek to the Erie County Fair, where the usual good time was had by all. (Except for that one guy, who didn’t seem to be having a good … Continue reading
Seven

Overalls weather!
Overalls weather!, originally uploaded by Jaquandor. Usually, from June to mid-September at the earliest, I might get to wear overalls a handful of times, because it’s just too warm for them. Not that overalls are especially hot, per se, but … Continue reading
