Driving away from #SpringLake on Mt. Olivet, a male individual was publicly sexually amusing himself. Laying on the road shoulder, back against a deflection abutment legs pulled close, “cranking away on his Model T” and I darkly chuckled. Yup. Hi human! At least he was being honest.

Then as I reached #Riverside I saw a young female #cop in a white #Township cruiser heading up the road where Mr. Magic was cranking away.

“Ohhh honey, you’re gonna see things…” LOL! #kalamazoo #michigan
