Be a Lamp Lighter for Each Other
Before electricity, large cities such as London and New York City had lamp lighters.

100% Forecast of Rain
There is 100% forecast of rain today. The rumbling echoes of thunder and then come the drops. Slow to begin with and then a heavier, fluvial flow comes, eases off and comes again in spurts, until the rain itself has settled into its own rhythm, its own cadence. It’s a soft rain today, a rain… Continue reading 100% Forecast of Rain
