Slanting at a slow-rolling angle.

Some days, today included, that’s how it feels.

Seems we must prop ourselves up or roll down into some unknown corner shop, or worse.

What is an address?

The US post office advertises that it delivers to every address in the USA.

It’s also amusing to see which three words pop up for any location you find yourself in.

Entertainment can be a tutor and inspirer of discovery.

Lunch is served, we were invited, so we better attend and discover which fork, knife and spoon suits each dish.
