Photo Post: Dogs vs. Kitten
I spotted this kitten clutching onto this tree with all its strength, and I assumed it had just climbed up there for fun and was now stuck. This tree has a very hard bark, and it was clearly very difficult for this kitten to hold on. I was amused by its predicament, and I started snapping some pictures.

Photo Post: Blind Woman Begging in Cebu

Photo Post: IceToolz Chain Scrubber
I recently purchased this little gizmo. I have trouble keeping my chain clean, and I thought this would help. I used to have a full-sized chain scrubber from Park Tools, which I loved, but it is a bit big and heavy to carry while touring. This one is quite small.
