  • Farmageddon

    If you’re watching your television with 50 channels of shit and feeling bored, then maybe it’s a good idea to watch this documentary.  And then think until you can’t see straight.   I took a two-hour ride in my velomobile to think it over and over . Touring in my Quest is an ideal way…

  • Christian-Jewish traditions
