Siegfried Vest
Mom’s been watching the remake of All Creatures Great and Small and asked me for another vest by texting me this picture of Siegfried: I spent a significant chunk of my childhood watching the car from the original All Creatures Great and Small drive backward by playing our VHS tapes in reverse, so I’m pretty…
