covering all the (merchandising) bases
What a place! It’s like the WalMart of Chimayó, practically, with the availability of santos, woodcarvings, popsicles, t-shirts, art, books. I mean, what else could you possibly need?
Also, don’t those commas on the stucco wall look like they were added by some kind of ad hoc sign-corrector person?*

tulsa’s best
Well, obviously that sign wouldn’t say the burgers and malts here are Tulsa’s best unless that was a verifiable fact.
I have not had a malt here, but the burger I had for lunch the other day was the best burger I had that day. I can’t decide if that really helps bolster the sign’s claim, but I stand by my assessment.

But look at the way the sunlight reflects off the broken windshield.

patriot games
A giant flag dominated the sky (but not this photo, particularly) while a regular-size one fluttered over the intersection of 2nd and Ash.
It sort of seemed like a battle of the flags. I’ll let you decide the winner.

Here lies Bill, according to that sign painted on the brick wall. I don’t have any reason to doubt it.
And I guess that our departed friend Bill found it necessary to leave behind a styrofoam carry-out container, thereby confirming the suspicion that you can’t take it with you.
