Yield: this is bigger than all of us

I took a bit of a road trip the other day, down a small farm road. I was surprised by how many wind turbines had sprouted in the fields.

Smokers’ Exile

On the morning before my conference started in Little Rock, I took a walk, looking for scenic stuff along the river. But I saw this instead.

By mid-afternoon, everyone had finished lunch

We completely missed lunch. And by the time we were ready to eat most of the restaurants in the part of town we were in looked like this one: closed.

Standpipe

I know for sure that this is a standpipe*. Mostly because it says so, right there in plain sight. (Although to be fair, I’ve missed a lot of things that were also right there in plain sight, so that’s not a guarantee that I’ll see it.)

But besides that, look at those mortar joints. And that wavy shadow! It was a plethora o’ stuff to see.

Sun Porch

The only functioning bathhouse in the confines of the the Hot Springs National Park is this one, the Buckstaff Baths. Unfortunately, due to someone’s* need to stop approximately 542 times on the drive to Hot Springs, we arrived too late to partake of the baths. But at least we got to see the chairs, right?
