See the mound of old tires? »Buy This Photo!«

The muscle in your soul gets stronger, that’s it. What, you expected something more? You thought you won the jackpot? In a way, you have. You’re still ugly as a rusty dump truck, and maybe if you squat down on the floor, it’s hard to get back up again. But hey, the muscle in your soul. The one you never used before but now you have to. That’s it, that’s the one.

Yes! the soul builds muscle but its also like driving Upper Ranchitos Road in the winter. You know where the potholes are and skillfully weave back and forth to avoid them.
