Post Office (flyover country)

If you take one route to get somewhere, you are morally bound to find another way back. (I suspect that not all of y’all abide by this as strictly as you should, but who I am to judge?)

Anyway, my route home from Tucumcari the other day landed by here, in Bellview. (FYI: I never did find the bells.)

the place so nice they named it twice

It was a pretty nice cemetery – I’ll grant them that. But doubling the signage? OK…I guess I’ll let that go, too. Because that’s the kind of mood I’m in.

For Father

Father wasn’t there. Or if he was, he’d walked over.

Tenacity

The dirt was just as hard as the concrete sidewalk. There was no evidence of any sort of recent moisture. And it was a hot day. Yet still, the flowers persevered.

Power + Light

I met up with a photographer pal of mine the other day in Tucumcari. We had a fine time locating old stuff to photograph; behind* an auto repair place, I found this nice little electrical installation.
