Words to Write By: Uncle Tupelo

"The weatherman says fair, he looks like a lie...nothin's free in this country and there's no place left to hide." - Uncle Tupelo

Looking grim out there. Very grim. He looks like "a lie" to me too.

Keep your word count up and look truth in the eye. Lacking ideas. Take a walk, look around.

It's all right in front of you.
