We may have been at a stoplight when I got this photo, but this is one character that will never stop. Halloween was last month, but what does he care? Say his name three times and bad things can happen. Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse… Nope, twice is enough; just because he’s hiding behind the spare doesn’t meanContinue reading “Betelgeused”
