My front porch

By P. M. Jaworski -

I wake each morning and go to school with this as my first sight out the door. "Liberty." Sweet.

Some days, I'm wearing this to drive the point home:

    You bet. What's funny about this is that every so often the sign is straightened out again, only to be twisted a day or two later. Strange.
