Instead, the wind and dust pick up, and if you forgotwww.onedoor.cc your neck gaiter, you would be retching up mucous and dust for days. New England humbles you like that.

Because I never have visitors, because when one’s alone, one does weird stuff like talking to themselves or making a cat out of an empty can—calling her Betty—I found out about the magic in this window.“Anyway, let’s just focus on the magic,” I grabbed Betty, who was sitting near the window.“This is ridiculous.”“Look at Betty, I think she’s ready.”“She’s an e...PNeone door
