 That detail caught Dad's attention.

 A semi thundered by, breaking wind like a fat man. Shorty Winsome hunched his shoulders before he slid sideways between two enormous eucalyptus trunks, down into the bark-and-trash-filled gully, all kinds of crap getting into his shoes. Better no one saw him. The cops'd yank him off the highway, any excuse. Didn't like hobos out here near heavy traffic.

    A hobo! Sounds like an interesting character. I wonder what he's doing out in the traffic. Love the description of the semi.

    That is an interesting 56 and Watch the Shadows is a book I haven't heard of before.

    I have to admit that I don't "get" Instagram yet - I may need to play about.

    As for a "jello wet spot" - ugh - and a nice piece of description :) - Louise

    AHHHHH! Instagram! I will definitely have to check in on Instagram from time to time with my 56 posts. That's just such a fun way to share!

    I haven't heard of this book, but that cover is something else. I'll have to look it up and see if it's something that I want to read.

    Thanks for adding me to the linky! :)
