Totem Pole Parking

Maybe you’ve hesitated to take your totem pole and get out on the road, not knowing where you could even park a totem pole. Lucky for you: I found the place, right here in Oklahoma. For trip-planning purposes, though, please not that you cannot park your totem pole overnight. Which sort of opens up some other complications, doesn’t it?

God, on Zoom

Of course, a lot of people got used to using Zoom during the pandemic. It’s just a regular tool these days – and we don’t really think anything about it.

However, I didn’t really think that God used Zoom as a way to communicate. Just shows what I know, right?

Glancy

Oh, man! What a find! An out of business hotel, complete with a sign with a lot of fonts, a nice variety of shapes, and the relics of some old neon.

And this was a fun find: the Clinton City Council voted unanimously in August 2019 to have the building demolished. Apparently that didn’t happen,: in 2021 the Clinton Economic Development Authority authorized $7.75 million to renovate the hotel and an adjoining restaurant.

From what I saw, it’ll take every bit of that money to renovate the place, which had, according to the second article, “fallen into a deep decline.”

Lunch Cook

Lately I’ve been feeling like I want to photograph people. This is surprising because it goes against every single thing I thought I knew about my photographic self. Yet, here we are.

Hybrid Vechicle

So. This. I have no idea what it is or why it exists. All I know is that it required a u-turn for me to get this image.
