If having a crush on a town is a thing, then I am pretty sure I have a crush on Spur. I go there often, and always find interesting things (like telephones or swimming pools or mysterious signs.)
On this particular trip, my friend Mary and I stopped for lunch at the Dixie Dog; we sat at the counter, which is how we were able to hear the cook say, when she’d caught up with the lunch orders, that she was going to step outside and smoke “a piece” of her cigarette.
How can you not have a crush on a town when you can hear something like that?

Well, now, that is a very good question. I don’t have an answer for it, unfortunately, but I will research it and get back to you…!

Nice shot and story. As to my previous lace statement. I was stationed in Germany many moons ago. Loved the quality of their lace which has stayed with me to this day. KEEP SHOOTING!

Isn’t it interesting how things that seem so random will stick with you? My brain is full of memories of random stuff (a white Easter purse when I was about 6, some shoes I had in middle school, my first fountain pen) to the point that the important stuff gets crowded out.

Oh, and yes – I do plan to keep shooting.

Those clothes pins appear to be totally saturated with grease. She could probably go outside for a piece of a clothes pin. Though she might have trouble putting it out.

It’d probably burn her nose off.

Yes. Not clothes pegs but candle pegs. Candle pegs would have been a good title for this picture.

Remember when you used to be the Research Department? Would you be interested in assuming duties as the Chief Title-Writer? I’d be willing to discuss a slight pay increase, if that makes a difference in your interest.

Did your fire me from the Research Department? I missed that memo.
A slight pay increase on not much of anything would be welcome I am sure. But I have enough trouble writing my own titles! And I’m not the poet around here either.

No, I didn’t fire you. I would never do that. It just that there hasn’t been much of a need lately for research.
I think you’d be a good title-writer, especially if you could write some of them in Canadian. To give the blog an international flair.

Also, you gotta love eavesdropping.
My favorite overheard conversation of all time, from Mesa Verde National Park:
Professorial Dad: And do you remember what this is called?
Bored Kid: Queso?
PD: Kiva.
BK: Whatever.
