I'm thinking about growing my tan out for the summer.

About Me

I've heard that there four distinct footprints that are commonly found on beaches everywhere: cat, dog, human, and amish. You never know what life is going to throw your way, but you'll always know when you're walking behind an Amish person on the beach.

I find a sense of calm in that alone.
