Collected Quotations

the Ollie n' Kalina Years


I lived in two different apartments. This first half of quotes was from the year I lived at 57th&Telegraph, which entails a number of unpleasant mental associations, the least of which involves seeing random people emerge from the carport carrying an axe.
