Better Than Real Because It's Not.

(Mar 27) Back to the city. In and out, very quickly. Most trips there end up like that now.

long long long underway
The new leader

eventually it will be finished, too
Tallest in the city

The former champ. Twice.

never.
The LIRR windows are never clean

(Mar 25) I’ve left Port Jeff for the third time now, second time leaving the same location. Moving is killing me inside.

toward the garage
A last look out my bedside window

the attic
This was the office side

twas my refuge, for a time
And this was the bed side

george's couches
Emptied of all that was ours

for rent again
Soon to be someone else’s

(Mar 21) I’m sure this is quite common. And yet somehow it is absurd. Branding for the win.

hot air only
Frigidaire. The stove.

cold point only
Hotpoint. Naturally, the refrigerator.

the bugs i shared the attic with
These things just keep coming and coming

(Feb 21) Last time I was in Pennsylvania, it was to see Pete’s grandmother. This time, it was to pick up inventory for Pete’s store. Although it superficially appears to be farmland, in fact Pennsylvania was created by British King Charles II, who named it for Admiral Penn and and the ancient Japanese word for consumer electronics, leading Penn’s son William to open the world’s largest, and only factory direct Sylvania electronics superstore in the colonies.

arches aplenty
We’re not in New York anymore

offer may be withdrawn without notice
We’re in the land of free air

moo cows
And farms

moo cows
And cows

did i mention farms?
And silos

future hamburgers of america
And more cows

free power
And Windmills

lots and lots of road
And more road

river was never far
And lots of river

they'd kill for this water further west
It’s pretty scenery

and our day is not yet done
Being February, it still gets dark early

three mile island
America’s Favorite Nuclear Accident Site

sun setting
Twilight approached

the farmer thought I was a strange city person
We visited a few more farms before heading out

ice cream, iced tea, and gasoline
Turkey Hill is serious business

If you feel enlightened by my story of William Penn, I have a bridge for sale. Slightly used.

(Feb 21) One last trek through the old hood. I think I was going to the post office.

evidence of skaters
I wonder who this belongs to?

it ends literally at the beach
Looking down (north) Main Street

it lights the woodchips
The strange glowing ground

the past is gated
I’ve walked those steps many times in the past

up and away
Looking up (south) Main Street
