Therefore, I’m not sure what will occupy Saturdays. It will probably… Read More »Linn and Jones County Auxiliary Images Vol. 1
Going to share a couple of tenderloin experiences today. One was from a couple months ago when I went to Freddy’s with Teresa and had their tenderloin, which was a limited time thing. Usually I don’t record (or even eat) fast food tenderloins, but I figured, what the heck. Freddy’s… Read More »Tenderloin Appreciation Society – Ames Field Work X2
