In which I sleep in a dumpster

Last weekend, a friend and I drove down to Columbia, SC to see some friends, enjoy some time away, fellowship with one another, etc. He designs gardens, so for the whole drive down he’d break out of conversation every half hour or so and rant about the different sorts of plants he saw on the […]
