Quick reminder to all my associates in Georgia. The white stuff on the ground is Snow, and if it’s yellow, don’t eat it. I suggest just looking at it from the safe confines of the interior of home through a window.

I bought my first In Flames Cd 25 years ago in Australia, The Jester’s Race at a Used CD shop in Perth. Best purchase ever, been jamming them ever since. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻Since among my favorite bands and log thousands of listening hours every year since.
