Quit Puffing

“I want all hellions to quit puffing that hell fume in God's clean air.”

Especially if the hellion is leaning up against a gas pump. This is the lonely
gas station in Kalaupapa, the former leper colony in Molokai, Hawaii.
There are no roads that connect Kalaupapa to the rest of the island.

Don't Walk

Flagrant (Not Fragrant) Foul

Shot on the Road

A medley of extemporanea;
And love is a thing that can never go wrong;
And I am Marie of Romania.”
Dorothy Parker 1893-1967

Everything old is new again. Happy New Year.
