is that really how tattoos work?
“Between the lines” tattoos make me think about my attempt at being a Real Artist™ by doing a paint-by-number set. I believe that experience broke my brain, because even now I don’t understand how painting works if you don’t have outlines and numbers and go all the way through painting one color before moving on to the next and the next. The idea of a blank canvas where you can paint ANYTHING YOU WANT makes me need to lie down.

Winter got to Joplin the very same day that I did, so my photos were made on very short walks. One of these walks (a walkette?) I happened to see what I am sure started its life as a car repair garage. Currently it is a restaurant supply place and kudos to the current people for keeping those old tin ceilings. That’s a nice bit of history and nostalgia.

celebrating years
I love how the Munger Moss Motel is proud of being on Route 66, but also sort of shy about announcing just how many years they’ve been there. I mean, I get it: I’m of a “certain age” myself and would prefer to have to say that big ol’ number out loud.
So, same, Munger Moss Motel, same.

There are approximately a billion photos of the sign in front of this building, which is precisely why I didn’t show it to you: I bet you’ve already seen it. And if not, just Google it.
And anyway, there was no way I was passing up the opportunity to get a shot of this flag-intensive place.

Yay for Texas! It doesn’t get much Route 66 mileage (186, the second lowest of the eight states on the route) but at least it got the midpoint.
(Kansas – poor Kansas – only gets 13 miles.)
