the nerve!
How many times have you been shit on by a bird? At least once, right? I’ve been dive-crapped twice that I can remember: Once by a crow — and just for future reference, being crapped on by a crow was like being hit with both barrels of a shotgun loaded with rock salt — and… Read.

Went for a walk in the evening last Saturday fully intending to make it at least as far as the end of Monona Drive, three miles away, before heading back. Got as far as the shop across from the bank that sells stuff they pick up from estate sales, about a quarter-mile away. The best-laid… Read.
