Ron Rybs Yes, not being a spring chicken has caught up with me, especially after a bit of a late night

Yes, this is a real sign at an actual rally

DW Davis @DWDavis (21818) • Pikeville, North Carolina 19h

My High School Senior Picture

LouAvul @LouAvul (50) 19h

Oh my goodness, I was just browsing my high school alumni page online and found a photo of myself on my senior year of high school. This is what I looked like until my late 40's when I cut my hair short. Well, I didn't look...

Not the lightning we saw on our way home,

DW Davis @DWDavis (21818) • Pikeville, North Carolina 12h

but it could have been its twin. We left the campground early today because thunderstorms were forecast for the area around Carolina Beach. Detaching from the utilities and hitching up in heavy rain isn't my idea of a good way to...

A tiring walk

Fleur @Fleura (25158) • United Kingdom 11h

Spring really does seem to be on its way now, although we are still having some chilly nights and I expect more stormy weather will be on the way as well. But on the nice days it’s lovely to be able to get out a bit more and make...
