and stop
Another fine find from my day of billboard photography. As you can probably figure out by the condition of the sign, the liquor store that wants you to stop is long gone, leaving us forever unable to save on all our favorite beverages.
This stop yielded two bonuses. One was that beer bottle stuck in the dirt below the sign. And the other was the approximately 100 million grass burrs that attached themselves to my pants legs and shoes and shoelaces. I appreciated one of the bonuses more than the other…

for truth
This particular afternoon was not a pleasant day to be out making photos – it was windy and dusty and cold. But the brain wants what the brain wants, and that day my brain wanted to go out and photograph billboards. (I know: my brain is ridiculous.)
This was the specific one I had in mind – I’d recently noticed it and appreciated the conglomeration of messages.

all good
Well, I’m not convinced. That sign on the right does say “It’s all good.” but the conglomeration of stuff kind of leads me to conclude it may, in fact, not be all good…

Coffee (night)
A couple of days ago, I mentioned going early to the Arcade Restaurant to avoid the lines. Another pro tip regarding the place is to get a hotel room across the street so you can monitor the line from your window.

I listened through the cemetery trees
Hello, and welcome to Random Music Reference Day. We here at One Day | One Image are the first ones to acknowledge that our brain works in a weird way and that random music lyrics will often attach themselves to certain images. Sometimes the lyrics-photo connection may make sense to, well, normal people. Other times, the link is obscure, at best. But the brain wants what the brain wants – I have no control over it.
And so, here we go, with listening through the cemetery trees, a line from “One Headlight” by the Wallflowers.
