18 and 7 are down for the count

I have a thing for photographing laundromats. I have no idea why – it’s just a subject that frequently captures my eye.

Combine that with my well-know affinity for photographing abandoned places and it’ll get you this image from an out-of-business place I spotted in Louisiana a few years ago.

What’s left of a cool neon sign – but its neon-y days are gone and seem unlikely to return…

meanwhile at the beer monster

My friend’s adorable daughters have renamed this place the Beer Monster; the name is based on a mural by the front door.

But no matter what you call it, this is an excellent spot for some craft beer. And you are very likely to run into someone you know and/or spot a food truck with something delicious to eat. And the days are (finally) getting cooler.

You know what to do with this information.

kicked the habit

Sometimes you just need to shed the old things that aren’t working for you any more, and move on with a fresh outlook to match your fresh new skin.

I am led to believe that “normal” people would just drive right by this place and not even stop.

I’m glad I do not qualify as “normal.”

(But to be fair, normal people make a three hour trip in, you know, three hours. If you know what I mean.)
