a long nap
On the other side of the creepy building from yesterday’s post, I encountered a raccoon taking a nap. Sort of a permanent one, if you know what I mean.

If you’re tall, or can stretch your camera over your head for a photo, you can see inside what I believe to be an exam room of some sort.
The building itself doesn’t have any signage to help me understand what I was seeing and my efforts to sleuth out some details led me nowhere. So, for now, all I know is the place was abandoned and it had a creepy vibe even before I made this picture.

I don’t know: it just struck me as a photo-in-waiting. You know, the ways things do sometimes.

Sometimes I run out of artistic energy. Like right now. It really took just about all I had to edit and post this shot.
And now, I think I’ll take a nap.

pucker
Y’all. This place.
It’s a combination mercantile, bar, cafe, and church (and that’s just the things I know about). The bartender, Jennifer, told me that I’d missed the church service earlier that day. I was pretty sure it was a joke, and I was willing to go along with it. She said they had 2-for-1 bloody marys during church. Still seemed like a joke. She told me that day four people had been baptized in the river (which was just across the road). And that’s when it sort of started to seem like maybe it wasn’t a joke.
But honestly, I’m still not sure.
Oh, and I can’t believe I nearly forgot to mention that the place hosts the Texas Testicle Festival. Jennifer can probably give you more details.
