01/18/2021 It was a dark and stormy night on the road from #SeattleToBahiaBlanca. As I walked down the trail, I felt a CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER in the air. As it was approaching twilight, it was difficult to discern between KNIGHT AND DAY. When I SPYed around the bend, I was surprised to see THE FOREIGNER running up to me and pulling me away into the brush where we couldn’t be seen!
