Memorial Directory
Once, in Lebanon, Nebraska, we were looking in a cemetery for a particular grave. The posted map didn’t match the cemetery’s layout at all – for all the help in provided it could well have been a map of the country of Lebanon.
I always do look for the map (or in this case, the fancier-sounding Memorial Directory) when I’m wandering around cemeteries. It’s sort of like how I always want to see the caretaker’s shack: it ties into my continual interest in the way things work.

Old > New
An old building in downtown Wildorado, Texas, lives out the remainder of its days under the watchful – and perhaps judgey – eye of that fancy new house. Such is the way of things.

Lucy’s Tacos
I am pretty sure Lucy makes delicious tacos. What I am less sure about is where she sells them, as the building right behind the sign appears to not have an operable kitchen. Or, you know, anything else Lucy or her customers would require.

Carnival
The carnival wasn’t in operation the day I was there. In fact, not much of anything was in operation the day I was there.

Men
Well, here I go again, looking in windows.* I love it that someone thought storing a tire and their gigantic console television inside an abandoned filling station was a good idea.

*To be real clear here – I only look inside places that are obviously unoccupied. If I have the slightest idea maybe someone’s still using the place, I’ll keep moving. That’s just common courtesy, right?
