Dear Texas and Mississippi

Dear Texas and Mississippi,The people saying you don’t have to wear a mask or social distance anymore are the same people that got a whole bunch of you killed in a predictable winter storm and that still don’t have the lights and water turned back on. Please don’t listen to them. We’re almost though thisContinue reading “Dear Texas and Mississippi”

I ❤️ These Boots (Solomon Shelter)

Living in Wisconsin you need a good set or three of boots. I had two sets: a heavy duty, super insulated pair for the depths of winter and a pair of of un-insulated LL Bean “duck” boots for slush/mud season.

Aint’ No Cure For The Overcast Blahs…

On the bright side of things, the overcast makes it easy to make shots like thisContinue reading “Aint’ No Cure For The Overcast Blahs…”
