Like a Rolling Stone

YHC was pretty pumped about all 5 lights being green on the way in this AM.  Only slightly disappointed to find the Icehouse lot empty… not for loneliness or jealousy of the fartsackers, but because he wasted a rare on-time arrival. Banjo and the baby seal made the best of their time together – flipping …
