Supposedly there was a redneck fight at Minglewood. I rubbernecked on my way home and didn’t see anything but lots of spinning blue and red lights. I sure love to imagine how it went down. [Project 365]
So awesome: (I see so many familiar faces!) Thanks, y’all! HT: Knots
I met a stranger in the park and made a friend. I didn’t think that happened in real life, but, well, there you go. Sometimes songs find me when I need them, and sometimes perfect strangers do too.

All this is slated to go down the second weekend of May, which I assume to mean a Saturday night, but it could last for days and days and days because that’s how we roll in…
Tried to file some Very Important Paperwork today, but it completely completely slipped my mind that city offices would be closed in observance of Martin Luther King Jr.’s death day. So, next week.
