No Swimming
I’ve been to this swimming pool before, five years ago, and made almost exactly this same photo. I know what I like, right? (Or I’m in a half-decade-long rut.)
But wait – coming soon to this very blog is a photo of a small-town swimming pool that is still in operation! Aren’t you so excited?

Senior ’66
I don’t think that members of the class of 1966 are really buried in the city park, but that sort of is what it looks like.
(Also: Galveston? Galveston is more than 500 miles away, so who knows what’s going on.)

Cemetery Music
I visit cemeteries a lot; you might think that after all this time, they’d start to look the same or run together. Sometimes I think that’s about to happen, but then I see something like this, a metal marker in the shape of a guitar. And a sad story, too, since the young man who dreamed of a career as a professional actor as a professional actor passed away when he was only 20 years old.
Two other things – there was a cluster of tiny guitars in the hard ground behind the marker, and wasps were living inside the metal guitar.

It would be a challenging launch
When a lake’s only at 18% of capacity, the boat ramps and docks sometimes end up in a precarious position. In this case, the end of the ramp isn’t even near the water, making putting a boat in quite a challenge.

Church: 3/4 View
As you may recall, I am fond of looking around the backs of things, and that’s how I found this nice little propane tank hanging out behind the church.
