Getting our hopes up
Our summer started out with cool weather and more-than-normal rainfall. But it soon got over that, and now it seems like maybe it’s never rained here. Ever. Not even a drop. And it’s hot, too – at or above 100 degrees for days at a time.
And that makes it seem like maybe this sign is being unnecessarily cruel.
(I am heading shortly to Chicago for a conference, where the high temperatures are forecast to be in the 70s. My work colleague and I had a discussion about packing; neither one of us can recall the right kind of clothes for that sort of weather.)

Post Office: closed for business
If you ever wondered – and I am sure you have! – what the inside of a closed-down post office looks like, then today is your lucky day. They look like this.
Don’t you feel better now?

Jesus and the arrows
We’d had a lot of rain, and I took advantage of the first sunny day to get out and see what I could find. I saw the “Jesus Loves You” sign and all those arrows as I turned the corner. I drove a mile or two before I decided that it was worth making a photo of, and then had to drive about five more miles to find a place that was dry enough for me to turn around.
That’s a problem I almost never have.

Awning is surprisingly new
It’s a little hard to figure out everything that’s going on here – the building is old. And abandoned. The roof has holes in it. But that awning is fairly new. (It’s also crooked, for whatever that’s worth.)
I can’t add all those parts up and get an answer that makes any sense.

Even with all this…
…the town still looks like it’s not going to make it much longer.
