This is important: walk down the alley. That’s usually where the good subjects hide.

Shocking, isn’t it? That I posted a color photograph, I mean.
This image and I had a bit of a battle. See, I wanted it to be black and white, because that’s what I am doing now. I mean, I even posted a picture of the Pacific Ocean in b&w: I am committed to it.
But, no: this image had its own ideas. It was somewhat insistent, in fact, of the correctness of color over b&w. I didn’t want to believe it. But eventually it wore me down. And so, here’s a color photograph. I hope you’re not too upset by it.
(Also: the photograph was right. It DID need to be in color. But I will deny that I admitted it.)

Let’s say, hypothetically, that you and your writing partner time your departure from your writing retreat at Windbreak House, near Hermosa, South Dakota, in time to be in Chadron, Nebraska, for lunch. Because – again, hypothetically – you’d stopped at the Bean Broker on the way up (just for coffee, though) and had decided it would be a perfect place to have lunch on the way back home.
That would put you in the neighborhood of Alliance, Nebraska, around mid-afternoon. Hypothetically. And you decide to take a gander through downtown, because why not. Turn on the right combination of streets, and you’ll see this. Hypothetically, which I may have mentioned.
