Tetris
As Thanksgiving approaches, it is beyond time for the annual fall session of Motorized Tetris. This year’s edition was complicated by pouring rain. At least it wasn’t snowing.

My stats don’t go back to 2010, but it’s had similar activity since it was posted. What could be so interesting? It’s not a photograph or a camera review. It’sContinue reading “Most popular post”
