Ah Tuesday... and it's still January, but it doesn't stop me from wishing for just a little bit of warmer weather (and some Midway junk food that is so not good for me, but at the same time, so good).

Anthology 1968-1972

I was born on this rock

And I've been travelin' through space

Since the moment I first realized

What all you fast talkin' cats would do if you could

You know, I'm ready for the final surprise

There ain't no way around it

Ain't nothing to say

That's gonna satisfy my soul deep inside

All the prayers and surveyors

Keep the whole place uptight

While it keeps on gettin' darker outside

Steve Miller Band - Space Cowboy

Found an interesting (to me) tank car on the railroad siding. On a whim, I planted myself nearby simply to consider where it's been.

Most days that is the absolute height of my ambition.

Autumn colors are in the house... It's been a minute since I began this sampler quilt back in 2016, but it's finally done, done, done, and I'll take the check-mark, thank you!

Closed for winter? More likely The Midway is closed forever after its last shutdown in 2012 was due to a lack of available 35-mm film prints.

The drive-in was built in 1955, midway between Turkey & Quitaque, Texas - New York & L.A.

I once stopped and asked directions from the postmistress in Pandora, Texas (population 125), and received one of those answers that you only get in a small town, "Just go on down to where the railroad tracks used to be and turn right."

Did I ever find where the RR tracks used to be? No, not a trace of those old tracks remained. Did I find my way? Yes... eventually. But without the hazy instructions, I never would've stumbled on this moody oak.

Re-tooting mainly because it's my favorite photo of Donkey Hotie (who is always hopeful that I have carrots or apples in my pocketses).

It's an understatement to say that Texas has some interesting courthouses. A few are noteworthy, but most just look tired - as if they've been chewed up, spit out and stepped on like Bowser's bone.

The courthouse in Coryell County has never been a favorite, but sometimes... when the air has been washed clean after a summer rain and the sun is shining? Well, ymmv, but it makes me feel weirdly hopeful.

I bailed on all the drama in my original instance (admin shutdown the server), only to find a different kind of drama in my most recent instance (admin seems overly interested in a Meta alliance), so yes, I've moved to a new new instance... and I am very much looking forward to hearing what the new neighborhood has to say about everything :)
