since 1968

Sometimes I see things that make me want to ask a lot of questions. In this case, though, I’ve only got one: what, exactly, happened in 1967 to inspire someone to decide the very next year that they trusted in God?

I would prefer the answer to be specific.

I’ve driven by this mural a thousand times. I’ve stopped once.

From the street it looks mostly OK, but up close and from a low angle, poor ol’ Buddy’s glasses look like maybe he needs to get over and buy some new ones.

Additionally, the mortar joints  and his eyes line up just right, give the impression that he’s weeping.

Yet another out-of-business place in town…but at least the sky was interesting.

FURNITURE

It was relatively cool* the other evening so I took advantage and went out to get some photos. I’ve had my eye on this place for a while because…oh, never mind. You know why.

And in case you are wondering, that thing in the parking lot that I thought was a syringe was, in fact, not one. But still, that empty parking lot definitely had an abandoned syringe vibe.
