Do you, or someone you know, own a truk?
Are you, or someone you know, struggling with where you can park your truk?
Are you, or someone you know, at your wit’s end trying to solve the truk park situation?
I have found what you need!!

start seeing
A public service announcement brought to you by a random building (that needs some attention to the crack in the wall) in Illinois.

is that really how tattoos work?
“Between the lines” tattoos make me think about my attempt at being a Real Artist™ by doing a paint-by-number set. I believe that experience broke my brain, because even now I don’t understand how painting works if you don’t have outlines and numbers and go all the way through painting one color before moving on to the next and the next. The idea of a blank canvas where you can paint ANYTHING YOU WANT makes me need to lie down.

tin ceiling
Winter got to Joplin the very same day that I did, so my photos were made on very short walks. One of these walks (a walkette?) I happened to see what I am sure started its life as a car repair garage. Currently it is a restaurant supply place and kudos to the current people for keeping those old tin ceilings. That’s a nice bit of history and nostalgia.

celebrating years
I love how the Munger Moss Motel is proud of being on Route 66, but also sort of shy about announcing just how many years they’ve been there. I mean, I get it: I’m of a “certain age” myself and would prefer to have to say that big ol’ number out loud.
So, same, Munger Moss Motel, same.
