without faith (a diptych)

I’d been by this abandoned church before, and even stopped once. For reasons that I don’t comprehend, I decided to pull off the road the other day and have another look at it. The door was open so I had a look inside – and this diptych shows a couple of the things that caught my attention.

Famous Hamburger

If you are one of those people who never stop searching for the best hamburger ever, I would like to call your attention to this little place, which unabashedly proclaims itself to be the home of the “famous hamburger.”
