The Craters of Mars

Under the school bus perched on steel cylinders, along the north fence at Paul’s Junkyard.  Those of you who’ve been to Paul’s know how difficult it is to get to this spot.  Super claustrophobic under there, not a place I’d want to be in an earthquake.  Lit with the Protomachine flashlight, set to red, purple […]
