Hill Street Nlues

Leave a comment

The hills were alive with sound of Pax making a downpainment for the day.

Two options were given:

Hill repeats on Harris Street

Or

Run the length of Harris Street and add more as wanted

All Pax leveraged this moment to “accelerate” into their day as directed by Band Camp.
