Flowers on the road
Every day when Im driving home from work there are people walking around the street selling flowers. They are there day after day religiously. I wonder how long they stay there and how many flowers they actually sell.
I have seen a lot of strange things here in MD but never a flower business created on the corner of Jones Bridge and Connecticut Ave. Don’t they need a license for this sort of thing?
I may buy some for valentines day for my husband. :)

I am holding pink pages in my hand, reviewing them before I collate them into my script. A magic battle ensues between Wil and Bert (fireballs, energy bolts, conjured beasts, etc.) I look at the script again, to make sure I haven’t misread it. Yeah, it rea...
