It amuses me to realize that I almost certainly had a distant cousin or two in there somewhere. ๐Ÿคฃ

Hurricane Melissa live updates: Category 2 storm slams into Cuba after devastating Jamaica Follow NBC News live coverage of Hurricane Melissa as it makes landfall in Cuba after hitting Jamaica.

When you finish writing a scene that takes place in Montego Bay and that evening it gets hit with a category 5 hurricane, you can't help but wonder if you are somehow partly responsible, like maybe your stupid scribbles caught the universe's attention. #BlessUp

I am wholly emotionally unprepared for the upcoming winter.

Yikes. I haven't had cash in months. Maybe I better get some.

Yes! I think the stripes hypnotized him.

Thank you. I love how much pleasure dad is taking in beating his son. ๐Ÿ˜†

Thank you for your kind words. In college, people used to play dominoes with the same energy as war.

You're cute squinting in the sun like that.

Well, to be fair, Portugal was once a part of Galicia, so ... ๐Ÿ˜€

I love this bit, because it's evidence of the vowel-shift that took place in England. When Shakespeare wrote this, blood and good rhymed. I wonder how often they rhyme when the play is performed now.

I think I would love it were it the start or continuation of a conversation. I just object to being seen as a public exhibition space, as though I were a gallery and not a human being.

Touches of gold, harbor of words.

Commit again to silent adventure.

People whom I've never interacted with respond to my photos with, "Here's one of mine." No intro, no hello, and no other context. Sometimes, there are no words.

They usually just want eyes on their photo and are using me to get that.

We should get dizzy at the sight of the universe.

Butterflies are the only creatures that look elegant while procreating.

I agree completely. These quakes are like having our mind's software rewritten.

I often wondered why the seats are so large. I guess so we can reimagine being a child.

This is an old photo from 1987. I think everything was freer then.

It was my pleasure. I am so genetically diverse the subject fascinates me.

You are sweet to comment on all these photos. I truly appreciate the effort you made.

That would have been a sight to see. ๐Ÿ˜€
