Chris Jones! Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

Enraged pedestrian. Flâneur. Hiker. Explorer. Web developer. Photographer. Daydreamer. Recluse. Road full of promise, head full of doubt. Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Hello.

I’m at work in Halifax, NS, Canada, where it’s 1° with light snow showers at 4:11pm. Current alerts: winter storm, weather.
I’m currently reading Fight Night by Miriam Toews.
