it depends on the way that you see

This cemetery had one of the few expressly-designated paupers areas that I have ever seen. Most of the markers in that part of the cemetery were non-existent and the simple concrete markers on the rest of them had eroded to the point where the graves were mostly just marked by pieces of rebar.

If you take one route to get somewhere, you are morally bound to find another way back. (I suspect that not all of y’all abide by this as strictly as you should, but who I am to judge?)

Anyway, my route home from Tucumcari the other day landed by here, in Bellview. (FYI: I never did find the bells.)

Father wasn’t there. Or if he was, he’d walked over.

Tenacity

The dirt was just as hard as the concrete sidewalk. There was no evidence of any sort of recent moisture. And it was a hot day. Yet still, the flowers persevered.

I met up with a photographer pal of mine the other day in Tucumcari. We had a fine time locating old stuff to photograph; behind* an auto repair place, I found this nice little electrical installation.
