I like driving downtown after 3 am or so. The drunks have all driven home, the streets are usually deserted and the buildings take on an emptiness that goes beyond just an absence of people. The city is deserted, desolate. The night is fought back in pools of light; a series of streetlights, an occasional […]

Sweet lord in heaven, I’m finally home! Leave it to NWA to turn a 5 hour trip into a 12 hour wait-fest. 😛 Related Images:
