It doesn’t stop It just keeps going like a freight train on steroids It picks up speed And never lets up It’s relentless The trenches built in deep The veins hardened with no relief Tonight Let’s go before the train stops Let’s wipe those tears away And, it’s […]
It reached 106 degrees on Friday in Los Angeles. At least according to my Sprint phone weather updates. When it was down to 104 degrees, I got excited. Well, least as excited as one can get about it being 104 degrees. Luckily for me, I have a high […]
