carts

From the looks of things, the Abell-Prewitt Implement Company has gone out of business, leaving behind an array of merchandise. And two very dusty shopping carts.

I don’t know where residents of Ralls currently go to obtain their implements…

Also: what are residents of Ralls called? Ralls-ites? Rallsians? Rallers?

My aimless approach to the shed full o’ junk scared up a flock of sparrows (?), but it didn’t scare them much: they flew about three joists down and settled in like nothing ever happened.

This is not one of them.

sky/light

In one way, this is photo of a sky light.

In another way, it’s a photo of a now-useless light fixture presiding over an abandoned parking lot at an out-of-business business.

super service

I mean – I can read the sign. I can understand the words.

But still, somehow, I remained unconvinced that any service provided at this location would rise to the level of “super.”
