10/21 – gotta get that bread edition

hello dearest friends and enemies,

my name? sorn.  my quest? to educate the masses and the scattered hermits on the glory of the out-of-doors.  yes, some have called it “heaven on a stick” and it is near and dear to my heart.  in fact, I keep the howling west wind in a locket that I wear at all times.  it helps me on my exams.  there are those that ask me, “what is the difference between xylem and phloem?”.  and to those critics, I answer back, “fight me”.

 

read on, literate mules!
