Nicely done. Great imagery. I had a mix of dive bars running through my head. It’s funny how they’re all almost like a McDonald’s. Pretty much the same; no matter the town. The people inside make the difference.

I remember when nearly all the denizens of Gus's were either band/artist/and or media.

My niece whipped our kite into a tree yesterday and it reminded me of this. Gotta keep your heart out of those trees or something. ;-)

I have a great, true kite story. Maybe I should tell it on video.
