How to Throw Your Phone Off a Cliff and Fat Biking in Fruita
Winters are long in Wyoming and spring is a trickster. When the first robin returns, BAM, POW — we are sucker-punched with a foot of snow. I hadn’t seen bare ground since last October.
Being Deaf: the Invisible Disability and Misadventures in Hearing
Have you ever been on a cell phone where there’s a poor connection and you’re only getting fragments of what the other person is saying?
