Here’s a way to have a local museum without actually, you know HAVING a local museum.

your dream business

Really, who among us has not – at least once – dreamt of having their own business in Chenoa? I know for sure how often I’ve had that dream.

And if for some reason, you’ve not yet dreamt it, there’s no time like right this very minute to start!

one more thing i can’t explain

The thing is that at some point, making this dinosaur make really good sense to someone. It was maybe even the best idea they’d had in their whole life.

That day was…not the day I was there.

despair has its own rhythm

Every single thing here just looks like despair – the weeds are closing in on the building; most of the windows are boarded up; that porch roof is wavy and collapsing; there’s an abandoned car out back; the stucco is working hard to fall away from the walls. And there are signs telling us that adobe is political.

population

On March 29, 2023, the estimated U.S. population was 336,300,903. So not the 888,888,888 on the sign, then.

But maybe that number is for all of America? According to population estimates provided by the United Nations, on March 28, 2023, the entire Americas have a population of 1,044,633,839. And again, that’s not the 888,888,888 shown.

Do you think there may be a chance that the number is…fabricated?
