Yes, it IS the variety

I am pretty sure that sign on the mural is referring to the variety of beverages available at the bar.

Signs of the Times

Two years ago, signs like this wouldn’t have made the least bit of sense. One year ago, they would have been outside in the restaurant parking lot so people knew where to part for their to-go order to be brought out to them.

It’s nice to see them relegated to the restroom hallway this year. And think how nice it’ll be when they are gone completely.

you can’t tell me there is no mystery

If you’ve been around this place for very long, you know that my mind sometimes connects (seemingly, usually, at random) my images with specific song lyrics. This time it was the line “you can’t tell me there is no mystery” from Bruce Cockburn.

This photo was made through a screened window on the back of the sad little trailer I’ve posted a couple of other photos of. Everything here is now and will forever be mysterious to me.

Time is a cruel master

Obviously – since there are no tires or anything – it’s been a minute since this travel trailer traveled anywhere.

Unless you count its current route toward destruction as a trip.

Grow Light

Even copious amounts of sunlight weren’t enough to save this tree. But here’s hoping it died of old age, after a long and productive of providing shade and doing other tree-things.
