foolish pride
Oh, Dallas! How friendly of you to welcome all of us, even though nearly everyone at the airport is only there because of the way Southwest Airlines connects Every Single Flight In The World through Love Field.

city sewing
The thing is that the neon looks stitched onto the sign, which seems appropriate for a sewing machine store.

butt
I was starting to think I’d hit the photographic wall – I was uninterested in making photos and when I did get myself out to shoot, the results were not particularly interesting. I was about to decide to get worried about it.
Then, I went to Dallas and on a quiet Sunday morning forced myself to get out and look at the neighborhood near my hotel. And that’s how I happened to see a window display of butts. And the light traffic on that Sunday morning made it very easy to make a u-turn to get back to them.
Now, I may still be sort of slumpy, but the opportunity to photograph some butts did make me feel a little better about the whole situation.
(And as an added, and amusing, benefit, this gave me the chance to use the word “butts” a lot more than I generally do in a post. So there is that.)

despair has its own rhythm
Every single thing here just looks like despair – the weeds are closing in on the building; most of the windows are boarded up; that porch roof is wavy and collapsing; there’s an abandoned car out back; the stucco is working hard to fall away from the walls. And there are signs telling us that adobe is political.

population
On March 29, 2023, the estimated U.S. population was 336,300,903. So not the 888,888,888 on the sign, then.
But maybe that number is for all of America? According to population estimates provided by the United Nations, on March 28, 2023, the entire Americas have a population of 1,044,633,839. And again, that’s not the 888,888,888 shown.
Do you think there may be a chance that the number is…fabricated?
