October 11

Sometimes, you just don’t WANT an explanation.

This is one of those times. Why was a cemetery cherub in a vacant lot? What happened to the cherub’s head? And, who poked a candle in the cherub’s neck, lit it, and let wax drip down its chest?

This is a COMPLETELY wild guess on my part, but I think a Flower Seed Cleaner might be used to clean flower seeds. At any rate, if you are in need of used (possible broken) one, there’s a certain junk store that you might want to visit.

I found a treasure: these old industrial buildings are fantastic.

(A warning to my regular readers: you’re gonna see these again and again. Don’t say you weren’t warned.)

Someone’s plans didn’t quite work out. Unless their plan was to leave a building to disintegrate beside a remote highway.

October 5 – fixing technical difficulties

This was posted for about 15 seconds on October 5, then vanished. (I know how it vanished, but I don’t want to admit to what happened; it was 100% operator error.) I was traveling and didn’t have a way to re-post until tonight.

Back in the day, I used to be a calligrapher. So you can understand my excitement at noticing how the L and the second E line up exactly with the uprights of the sign. Well done, sign-painter.

Also – check out that cool old gin in the background….
