Today I had to do a training with young people in Oakland and as I was navigating my way through the chains and misc. debris, I noticed a little school bus ran up a hill. Tire deep in hill.

Oakland, you are so epic.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://shortofcomposure.tumblr.com/post/51115010125</link><guid>http://shortofcomposure.tumblr.com/post/51115010125</guid><pubDate>Thu, 23 May 2013 03:38:06 +0200</pubDate></item><item><title>"I just wanna go on more adventures.
