Mondrian’s window
Over the past couple of years, my friend Ehpem and I have amused ourselves by spotting references to Mondrian (like this) or things we see that remind us of him. Our standards are lax: pretty much anything with more than a couple of rectangles fits into our little game.
And, so, I present: Mondrian’s Window.

Ricochet toward the end
My boss tells me this school closed in the 1970s; the Texas State Historical Association concurs, saying the school was operational until 1978.
My traveling companion for the day spotted an un-boarded door around back, which gave us a nice view down the hallway.
Light and history and inertia all headed toward the same ending.
