Juxtaposed
I didn’t realize what I had for those few years I lived in New Mexico; mostly the Patient Spouse and I were ready to move somewhere else – anywhere else! – from the minute we arrived.

While I was in town looking for things that needed to be a photograph, I decided to stop in at the local coffee shop. And – who could have predicted? – it, too, needed to be a photograph.

Brodimatic
The other day, on a jaunt to Plainview, I found this thing, this jumble of hoses and other stuff. The thing on top is a Brodimatic; you probably already knew that it’s a gas meter pump counter, but I had to google it…
