It is a hard town to visit.

It was like watching them being washed with a refreshing breeze.

I was put on probation a few years ago when I gave an answer about running with scissors.

My world is performing my senses.

The squeak under my boots told me it was good packing....

We are all more than one thing, all of the time.

For example, 'Dibs'. As in, "I call dibs on the last Oreo."
