Our Greatest Weapon

Posted on July 7, 2022 by RC

The Judge of all the Earth

Posted on July 5, 2022 by RC

Literally

Posted on July 1, 2022 by RC

Inkling of Wonder

Posted on June 30, 2022 by RC

Some Don’t Like It Hot

Posted on June 24, 2022 by RC

Suffer the Children

Posted on June 23, 2022 by RC

Riding the Storm Out

Posted on June 21, 2022 by RC

In my lifetime I have lived in San Francisco, Kansas, and Florida. I have experienced an earthquake, a tornado and a hurricane. The odd thing is that I experienced all three while living in Pennsylvania. I’m a fan of weather. … Continue reading →
