wayfinding
Some places have trees that grow along the road. We’ve got something similar, only it’s signage sprouting all over the place.
(You may think, “Wow, only 98 more miles to Big Lake. I bet it’s nice there in the summer, what with a big lake and all!” DO NOT FALL FOR THIS TRICK.)

got the blues
I think at some point this building had been a school but those days are pretty far in the past. Now it’s falling down (literally) and filling up with dirt from frequent dust storms (also literally).
However, I greatly admire someone’s decision to go with the blue glazed bricks AND the blue desks. That was a bold decision (maybe) but it’s still paying off (in my opinion).

defies explanation
I ended up in this tiny town because there was an unfortunate sign out on the highway that I wanted to photograph (although I will not dignify its message by posting a photo), and while I was at it, I went ahead and checked out the town. And that’s how I happened to see a weather-worn sign for a gun sale and a dinosaur in the same spot.
It was practically my lucky day.
