Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.

Cinnamon Donuts
Posted in musing on October 27, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I have a fondness for cinnamon donuts. Given all the choices at the local donut store, I will choose the plain old cinnamon over any other flavor every time. And it’s all rooted in a childhood memory.

Big wolf spiders don’t phase me, and I don’t trap or poison animals that get in my garden. Even when they eat [...]
