BUN RUN
This one was on the back of an Escalade. I thought, is it a Bunnie running, or are they running so their buns look good?!? Perhaps it is the charity run sponsored by Schlotzsky’s that goes by that name.

Quote for the Day – William Faulkner
“Let the writer take up surgery or bricklaying if he is interested in technique. There is no mechanical way to get the writing done, no shortcut. The young writer would be a fool to follow a theory. Teach yourself by your own mistakes; people learn only by error. The good artist believes that nobody is good enough to give him advice. He has supreme vanity. No matter how much he admires the old writer, he wants to beat him.” ~ William Faulkner
