So adorable this is. I looked down and saw I called it adorable the first time I had seen it. Now that's predictable commenting right there. Too bad only an HM but congratulations on making the short list. And also. I love this poem. I almost called it a haiku!

The West is amazing! If driving make sure you have a full tank before getting on the open road! Long stretches.
