Random Thursday: The Non-Wildlife Edition
Despite being ravaged by COVID, I’ve crafted an amazingly engaging post. Although that might be the fever talking.

Caution: Snake photos below! The alarm went off around 5:00 a.m. last Friday. It’s not an actual alarm; it’s just in my head. Go ahead and laugh; you’ll be old someday, too.

I promised him a report, and… Continue reading Beer By The Bay 2021: A Strange Trip
