one-half mile
The cemetery was about knee-high in weeds and it’s both snake territory and snake season, so I didn’t walk around. But from what I could see, the number of headstones on the sign is roughly equivalent to the number of graves in the cemetery.
Fun fact: the town and the town’s cemetery are spelled differently.

Did you think my account was hacked or something when you saw this color landscape photo?
To be honest I am sort of surprised by it as well, but it really is a photo that I made. On purpose.

the fish and the photographers
Those silly fish thought we were there to feed them, but of course that wasn’t at all what we were there for. If you look closely, you can see the reflections of my friend and I and we were definitely taking photos and ignoring the fist.
Later that morning we had a lovely picnic in a park, so we did feed ourselves. But still didn’t feed those fish.

Maybe you feel like you need to spend more time reading? But it feels like a whole book is too much?
I am here with a solution.
Go over to Taiban, and step inside the old church and read the walls. The plot can be a little hard to follow, but it won’t take you long to read the stuff that’s there. And the next time you’re there, you can read a whole new assortment of things.
That’s a literary win. Kind of.

pedernal: a non-traditional angle
If you are the littlest bit familiar with Georgia O’Keeffe’s paintings of the New Mexico landscape, then I bet you’ve seen various versions of the mesa known as the Pedernal.
However, for some reason, none of hers included a picnic shelter and/or a belly dump trailer. That seems like sort of an oversight on her part, but who am I to say?
