This guy was using the last few minutes of his lunch break to work the crossword puzzle.

Café Islands

You know those glorious days when every single thing you see looks like it ought to be a photograph?

That’s what happened here when I spotted the tabletop archipelago.

(Full disclosure: nothing was staged. Because if it had been, I would have moved the pepper shaker away from the salt.)

Hat Canyon

The man sold me a hat.

Then he said, “Here’s the picture you want.” and led me to the long table stacked with straw hats. Then he pointed at the hat-canyon down the middle.

It seems strangely familiar

I moved away from Albuquerque in 1982. I’ve been back a handful of times since then – enough, I guess, that when I got off the train from Santa Fe, it seemed like I’d never left. I even found myself looking around for the woman we called Point Lady, who stood along Central Avenue, shouting and pointing at anyone who looked in her direction.

I never did see her.

The chairs had convened a meeting

The two square tables had been behaving badly, so the chairs convened a meeting to discuss the situation. It didn’t end well for the tables, who were outnumbered by the chairs.

What do tables have to do in order for chairs to resort to such drastic measures? You really don’t want to know….
