Wiring diagram
Since a wiring diagram is actually a simplified conventional pictorial representation of an electrical circuit (according to Wikipedia, who ought to know), this is obviously not a wiring diagram. But that’s what I thought of when I saw the picture.

Basketball is a rough game…
especially if you are playing it on this court in this field.

The sky’s the thing
We were looking for something. It wasn’t down this road: at the point where we ran out of pavement and huge puddles took over, it seemed like a good place to turn around. Which put me on the correct side of the car to see these clouds.

Eventual destruction
There’s the kind of destruction that sweeps down from a cloud – a tornado or wind or hail or lightning. It’s here, then it’s gone.
And then there’s the kind that happens incrementally, so slowly that you don’t even notice it until it’s probably too late to do anything about it.

The sign will guide us
If you’re like me, it’s hard to see a 100 mile round trip for a 30 minute meeting as a waste of time. The way I see it, it’s kind of nice, actually, that the meeting was short enough so that there was plenty of photography time left over before I had to head back.
That’s what happened the day I took this one. My meeting with the county judge* was short so I was able to see the town, including this old sign, past its prime but still standing, proudly and vacantly.

*A few days after I wrote this I realized that it sounded like I was meeting with the judge to get out of a speeding ticket or to post bail or something like that. It was actually a meeting for work – the judge is on our board of directors. I am sticking with that story.
