A Relationship Caution

Environment, Nature, Relationships / tagged Covid19 / March 21, 2020 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

I think you are supposed to take some air out of the tires It wasn’t something that we thought about gliding across the prairie night with no one needing to steer and lots of cold beer and the throttle (they had throttles then) It is something we would probably have thought about going across the old wooden trestle that and the freights that run at all hours Except that we were too busy holding back our friend in the back almost as strong as the three of us in his full blown panic Trying to leap over the front seat to grab the quivering wheel
