Just to make sure (Marfa)

Sometimes, in Texas, we like to label our buildings. Just to remind us.

Even artists have to buy toothpaste and detergent and gum. And, when they do, I assume they head straightaway to the Dollar General store, on the east side of town.

But unless they happened to be walking around back, they missed the composition of lines from the metal building and the carts which were reflected in a puddle.

I’m a curmudgeon!

Hello, and welcome to Curmudgeon Day here at the blog. It’s a day when I confess how much I hate a few common English terms.

First of all, I can’t stand it when people say “We’re pregnant.” It’s just too precious for my taste.

I hate the word “veggies.” I can’t say why, but I just do.

But mostly, I hate the term “bucket list.” If I were in charge, the only person allowed to reference a “bucket list” would be the owner of this shop, when he or she is preparing an order for new buckets.

* Sorry if I offended anyone. Maybe “offending readers of my blog” is on MY bucket list…..

Oh, Marfa

I just returned from a trip to my favorite part of Texas. This is a tease of what’s to come – a nice little place I spotted in the tiny town (with a big reputation) of Marfa, Texas. My traveling buddy and I had some lunch at the famous Food Shark, checked out the Marfa Book Company, then spent a few hours walking the town.

You can probably imagine what was my favorite part….

Stay tuned for more photos from the trip. I have enough to last a long, long time.
