One is the loneliness number
Still there!Originally uploaded by Big Dadoo On Friday as I was walking back to the office to change for the ride home a co-worker informs me that the bike cage has been broken into and his bike has been stolen! A few more steps and I see that my bike is still there, the only Read More …
