Today’s Theme is Buffalo
Before our South Dakota trip, I had one goal: to see a buffalo up close. Also, to eat buffalo.

Asphalt Intrusion
I seem to have run out of things to say as of late. Ironic, considering words are my bread and butter. Literally. (Though nowadays, it’s whole wheat bread and nothing more than a schmear.
