This begs the question.  What kind of Daily Specials does a Tattoo parlor give?   I’m thinking Mondays are for Mom,  Tribal Tuesdays,  Dragon Wing Wednesdays, Red Ink Thursdays, Fables on Fridays and  Saturday is Sleeve Day.

The Bowl was able to escape for a day this Labor Day weekend and took a trip to the Pioneer Florida Museum and take in their Pioneer Florida Days.  It was the most fun the Bowl has had in quite a while.
