another inexplicable thing

Somehow a toilet found its way over a tall fence along the highway and onto a hard, dry slope at the cemetery. That seems like a lot of effort on someone’s part, but admittedly my experience at disposing of toilets is very limited.

ghosts and a flag

It was Memorial Day weekend, and a number of the graves were marked with flags.

This particular cracked-concrete headstone was also marked with ghostly symbols and illegible writing.

the frontier

I can’t imagine a world where there’s not a Frontier Restaurant in Albuquerque; it’s been right there on the corner of Central Avenue and Cornell Avenue since I can remember*. It’s good. It’s cheap. It’s open long hours. And (as you can see here) they bus the tables for you.

*Never you mind how long that is.

gravity: it’s the law

You’ll know when you see what I saw.

important cargo (maybe)

A junked out vehicle, filled with junk. Was it a redundancy or an amplification?

Also, in this town I saw a man walking along the highway. He was wearing a backpack and carrying a one-gallon container of water. Every time a car would pass by, he’d raise the water container as a wave to the drivers. (This is not a part of the state where people just…hike.) (So I am not sure what his deal was.)
