On my way to the library earlier this week around 7am, I had the pleasure of meeting a really nice lady. Not under the best circumstances. I stepped out in front of her car and got hit. This is totally on me. I just didn’t see her. Thankfully, she wasn’t going fast at all, but […]
A hobby that I used to be deeply involved in was astronomy and astrophotography. I loved it, and I still miss it. Unfortunately, now that I live in a more populated area and in the situation I’m currently in, it’s no longer something I can realistically enjoy the way I once did. If you’re in
