Looking Forward by Looking Backward
Last year, I posted a photo of the world’s creepiest doll. (You’re welcome for taking you back to THAT nightmare.)
And here’s another shot of the same doll. That reflection in the window makes it look like she’s glancing back over her shoulder to see what’s in front of her.

Outhouse
This remote country cemetery was a few miles down a dirt road; in addition to the things you expect to see at a cemetery (graves, for example), this one had a picnic arbor, so you could have a nice lunch after the burying was done.
And, it had a couple of outhouses, too. This is the larger of the two – it was what we call around here a “three holer.” You can probably figure out what that means…

The Young Explorer
You know that I don’t take photos of people. Unless they are my granddaughters.
Or, unless I notice an intrepid young explorer, heading out on a big adventure.

Car Culture, two examples
Over there on the right side is a drive-in bank. Those are ubiquitous.
What caught my attention was the drive-through window at the mattress store. I am still trying to figure out the logistics of that.
But until I do, I guess I’ll just see this as an illustration of the car culture around here: why walk if you can drive. And why just drive if you can drive through?

Burritos at the Little Ranch
I’ve never eaten here, but it looks like the sort of place that has really good burritos. And also the outdoor seating is quite nice.
But the best part is the way the paint has faded on the plywood sign, revealing the wood grain underneath.
