I’ve learned never to trust atoms. They make up everything. I saw a fellow holding a pig while riding in a rickshaw. Guess Hong Kong has a different definition of “pulled pork”. I was thinking ‘What’s so great about living in Switzerland?’ Well, their flag is a big plus. I…

It was Memorial Day Weekend. Jack took a long look at his speedometer before slowing down: 73 in a 55 zone. The flashing red in his rearview mirror insisted he pull over quickly. Fourth time in as many months. How could a guy get caught so often? He slumped into…
