boot/cross
There’s about a quarter mile of fence that’s decorated (if that’s the word?) with boots and bicycles. It’s all wired there, so it seems permanent.
And other than that, all I know is that the Google street view, made in July 2024, does not include them, making them a relatively recent addition to roadside mysteries.

there wasn’t even time to pack the applesauce
I’ve been a fair number of abandoned places and they generally have the same elements: busted furniture, caved in ceilings, dirt, junk. But this was the first place I’d ever seen fourteen jars of baby food that did not make the leave-or-take cut when the family cleared out. There were other signs of children having lived there (toys, a framed portrait of a little girl) but it was this applesauce that grabbed at my emotions.

fuji (with fuji)
It’s either a bicycle joke or a camera joke, depending on what your perspective is.
You might think it would be twice as funny, but it’s really not. (Even though I did laugh pretty hard.)

The Ragged Wall
Everything about this wall was ragged – even the shards of drapes left behind after the rest of the fabric was sawed off by the window’s broken glass. Of course, I thought it was beautiful.

Appliance showroom
Do you need a new washing machine? Do you want to shop without the high-pressure salespeople at the big box stores? Does a meat snack sound like something you’d want while you shop?
If so, I have found the place for you!
