No one swims
Singer/songwriter James McMurtry’s song “We Can’t Make It Here Anymore” sums it all up:
In Dayton Ohio or Portland Maine
Or a cotton gin out on the great high plains
That’s done closed down along with the school
And the hospital and the swimming pool

An open door policy
Evidence suggests that Wilson’s Grocery store used to have a location here in Spur. However, the internet seems to be unaware of that fact, which makes me wonder how long this door’s been leaning here on the wall.

Bulldogs
The sign in the fence helps spectators know which team is the home team.

And so it goes
This town is becoming one of my favorite locations to photograph. And so it happened that on a sunny Sunday, my patient spouse and his sweet sister agreed to accompany me on a trip to see what needed its photo made. (He knew what he was in for. The Sweet Sister may have been shocked. Or bored. It was hard to tell. But she remained sweet, either way.)
Anyway, on that trip I found this weed, doing that thing that weeds do: taking over, one flower spike at a time.

Metered Service
Of course I’ll walk down an alley!
That’s where the utility meters are.
