The icehouse door
The bricks on this wall were going in every direction and I am pretty sure that the wall above the left-hand window is about to fall over.
The door to the icehouse was very interesting – it still had pieces of the old cork insulation stuck on it and the wood was nicely weathered.
Out in front, a sign said the place was open 8-5 Monday through Saturday. The condition of the place and a few other clues lead me to believe perhaps the sign is in error. But that’s OK – neither Donna Catterick, my companion on this adventure, or I would have liked stopping to take pictures if there’d been other people around. That’s how we are.

Eventual destruction
There’s the kind of destruction that sweeps down from a cloud – a tornado or wind or hail or lightning. It’s here, then it’s gone.
And then there’s the kind that happens incrementally, so slowly that you don’t even notice it until it’s probably too late to do anything about it.
