"I'm searching for the new fiction, but in the meantime I'm eating the leftovers... "

Welcome to "More People Like Us", a [something something] sort of travel blog.

For those interested in the past (who is? *cough *dust) I used to blog as the Jabberlope, but now you can find me here most days..

Here's some fancy prose, culture, and commentary filters, if that's what you're looking for...

Also, if you want to see updates in your Facebook stream, join up here.
(It only hurts the first time...)

 I go by jabberlope on Twitter...
