narrow path forward
There’s not a single thing here that says “welcome”…yet I stopped anyway. I had to.
(I mean that literally – we’d spotted this place a month earlier, on the way back home from a weekend trip with some friends but we drove right on by. But I didn’t forget it. I couldn’t forget it. So I did what I had to do.)

our faded love
You all know by now, I imagine, that it’s not uncommon for random song lyrics to land in my head when I am making photos. This time it was an old Bob Wills song, only redone by my friend Terri Hendrix, that took root.

Tired of your family? Try a loaner!
What a great idea! If your family has gotten on your very last nerve and the thought of even ten more minutes with them is more than you can stand – maybe this business can help! Apparently, they can loan out a new family to you. Come on – you know you want try.
(I do not know if they also offer permanent new-family placements, or if it’s a loan-only sort of operation.)

Americana
Oh, rural America, with your banners and flags and can-do spirit.
(I can actually only vouch for the banner and the flags.)
Historical Note: this was one of my first post-knee-surgery photos. I was using a cane, which was tethered to my left wrist. My camera was tethered to my right wrist. And I was walking down the middle of a brick street. My physical therapist would have been proud (let’s assume), as I was definitely making an effort to get back to my normal activities.

an important warning
I guess one question I have is what do wind tunnels drive? But at least they have a dedicated parking spot when they get there.
