Trapezoid
I am drawn to compositions like this one, with a roof slicing through the rectangle of sky. Sometimes less really is more, I suppose.

Three flavors
Beats me. Maybe in the summer this car serves as an ice cream stand?
When I go someplace like Dime Box, where I’ve never been before, I have the feeling that everything has looked just the way I saw it approximately forever. (I know things have changed, of course, or all these old buildings that I find would still be pristine.) So, that car, with its numbered windshield, and the mysterious ice cream signage? Been that way for years. Right? So it was a tiny bit of a surprise to look at the same scene on Google Maps and notice that my perceptions are wrong.

Off road
Because I am sure you want to know, here’s a short explanation of what “off road diesel” is.
“Off road diesel” is diesel that is for use exclusively for off road uses. Like farm vehicles or diesel generators.
It’s dyed (red, usually) to distinguish it from non-off-road diesel. It’s cheaper than regular diesel because its price does not include federal highway taxes. And, while you can burn it in your diesel car, for example, without harming the engine, you’ll be risking some tax evasion charges.
If you want more information – and who WOULDN’T want more information?! – you can go here.

Left
Left behind: flouncy curtains in a wood-paneled room.
Left behind: dreams that didn’t survive reality.

Trees like a cage
These trees are keeping the house from escaping. Or from falling down.
