I have issues. Not in general (although of course I do have quite a few general issues) – but with the things in this photo.
First of all, it bothers me a lot that the star on the hot-cold thing is wrong side up. I can almost understand the decision to point in down toward the round thing* but, it is just wrong.
But what gets me even more is that cloud that has a hand (A hand! What the hell?) growing out of the bottom of it.
And let’s not even get into the discussion about if the building that’s held by the cloud-hand is supposed to be a hand-held size or if the cloud-hand is actually gigantic enough to hold an entire building.

joubert
I cannot even think about this abandoned place without hearing “It’s you, Joubert!” in the style of style of Jean Valjean getting shouty with Javert in Les Misérables.
And, you’re welcome for putting that music in YOUR head: just another free service I provide.

no loitering, but anyway, here’s a chair
They could NOT be more serious: no loitering is permitted. None. Not at all. Never. Don’t even THINK about it.
But, oh, here’s a chair, just in case…

oddly classical
I’m not really used to thinking about a gas stations being so fancy that they required Ionic columns and clay tile roofs, but this place had both of those things.
Also, it has all those windows and would make a fine art studio – just needs a couple of weekends, probably, to get it all set up.

trailer/house
There’s not all that much to see in Orogrande.
But I did see this place, which seems to be aging itself out of existence. The circumstances of small-town New Mexico have already aged it out of usefulness.
