Fast Food

Fast Food Drive-in

Fast Food

Line-up. (Tomas photo, 2010)

There is a very popular fast food drive-in a couple of blocks from our apartment. A few of the customers park and go in to order and eat, but most stay in their vehicle, order, pick up their order and drive away--eating and drinking as they go.

This is a VERY popular thing to do here.

Of course almost everyone who lives here must have a car and most spend hours in the car every day. (I almost wrote "week", but caught myself since most commute many miles to work.)

This is one of the peculiarly wasteful bad habits which will bring this country down.

Pathways of the Heart

Concrete Path, Ohio Avenue.

Dirt Path Felicita Park.

Some trails are easy, some are not--

BUT

It doesn't really matter where your journey takes you.

It can ALL be good.

Creative Auto Repair

There is a certain class of automobile drivers around here that come up with some inspired solutions for their car repairs.

Can't blame them too much because car repairmen around here make dentist's wages. (Which is why some of us suffer creative dental solutions!)

Our favorite repair though, which we have only seen ONCE, is when the driver's side front door was secured closed with a piece of rope!

We are still wondering HOW the driver managed to get in and out!

The wild oats are white dry. The brook is a mid-summer trickle.

But the company is one-of-a-kind great!

One thing you CAN say about people. We know a GOOD IDEA when we see one!

The butterflies are getting rarer ("Silent Spring"), but dresses are very colorfully attractive this summer!

Worlds apart but close--we experience these roadside attractions often--almost every day.
