While I was enjoying that finest kind beverage – five people joined the man in the background. These five people had been scouting all of our local tattoo establishments of which there are many.

Starting to think seriously about the RTW B4 Dead trip. Think I’ll try to leave all camera and computer gear safely back in the Old Bat Cave. Cell Phone and Kindle. That could be it for technology.
