when you don’t have a b
Here’s a handy tip I learned from observing conditions at a convenience store: you can indeed make a B for your sign from an L and a lower-case O.
Travel: it’s educational.

handbag
I don’t know why there was an old vinyl handbag hanging on the wall of an abandoned building in a tiny, out of the way town.
However, I do know that there was nothing inside of it.

lilies, considered
On the front end of a recent trip, we encountered a cemetery that was home to approximately all the stickers in the entire world; it was in a town called Old Dime Box.
On the way back to the airport at the other end of the trip, we found a well-organized and manicured cemetery; it was in a town called Dime Box.
Go figure.

when the weeds take over
It took two tries to find the country cemetery. The first try took us through a little loop that looked as sketchy as anything I’ve seen in sketchy towns, so while we could see the cemetery from where we were and it was theoretically possible to walk over to it, we noped our way out of that particular plan.
And then, we did find the cemetery, and it was home to the world’s largest sticker farm so my usual aimless wandering was not exactly workable.
As a sort of consolation plan, we stopped by this abandoned tractor and I was able to take as many as three sticker-free steps and get the shot. Finally! A win!
