After the Apocalypse

I have loved peroxide since I discovered (in college) that it removes blood stains if you use it before washing the ‘garment’ (tmi?). I remember that at Girl Scout camp, the nurse used it for my toe when the nail ripped. Look at all its other uses!!!

Life finds a way—this tree pushed through pavement and even wrapped itself around a stop sign in L.A. #Nature doesn’t ask for permission.
