pool (4th floor view)
So, what happened was that the crew installing the conduit for the new fiber lines installed that conduit RIGHT THROUGH THE MIDDLE of our sewer line. And that made our sewer, uh, not drain. And THAT led us to a lovely little staycation at a local hotel that did have operable sewers.
And that, naturally, led me to make this photo of the swimming pool from the 4th floor elevator lobby.
Because I did take my camera with me on our little trip.

community
This town up in the Sacramento Mountains doesn’t even get a Google street view map: it’s that small.
However, the population DOES seem to be all the way into triple digits, at 112 people. (Up from 98 in 2020, and up from 63 in 2010.)
The World Population Review provides this helpful information about the place: “The average household income in Weed is $0 with a poverty rate of 0%. The median rental costs in recent years comes to – per month, and the median house value is -. The median age in Weed is 0 years, 0 years for males, and 0 years for females.”
All that aside, I can tell you with certainty that there is a community center in town. And at least one bird.

I had been to Alamogordo before, but never with a camera in my hand. And that meant I had also never strayed even one inch off the highway through town.
This time, though…

pedestrian
In case you were wondering (and I am pretty sure that you were not), this is just a random side street heading off from Via Vittorio Emanuele. That group of pedestrians headed my way looked a little intimidating but in fact were not.

church/flowers
Delivery people were hard at work bringing large flower arrangements into the church. I don’t know if it was in preparation for anything in particular or just a regular Thursday flower delivery.
And here’s one of my greatest missed-opportunity shots, on the outside of the same church. I didn’t have time to really frame the shot, which is why that poor man has only one foot. And it’s also what I call a “fatal error” – a thing I can’t get past. But still: I’m posting it anyway. Caution to the wind and all that.
