Marty’s photo of the day #3456: Never has the time between the Presidential Election in Inauguration Day moved so slowly. We still have 41 more days of the most incompetent, selfish, evil president in American history. All this waiting is making me crabby. (Photographed in Costa Rica)

Even then, our seven continents of adventures were technically work, because I turned them […]
