Puffy clouds and reflections
Puffy clouds and reflections. The holes in the side of the building are for a major remodel. They just took down a plywood and scaffolding garbage chute that ran down the outside of the building.

Having grown up in California during the 1980s, I can’t imagine NOT turning the water off while I brush my teeth.
