Tonight I needed to check up on a friend. As it turned out, it was for nothing.

 

 the moon.

They say this makes people do crazy things.

 

 better moon shot.

I’m finally starting to learn how to use this camera.

 

 oh, really?

Unfortunately, it wasn’t me.

 

 nerd crossing.

The international symbol for library?

 

 is it true?

Sometimes life would seem easier if there were only one way to go.

 

 an understatement.

I certainly do have a lot of “road work” ahead today.

 

 ha.

Has whatah been in Port Jeff?

 

 moon, cloud.

They’re still at it, still paving the same part of the highway as last night, and last week.

 

 moon behind the steeple.

My favorite photo of the night.

 

 midnight train to nowhere.

I will be back here in a few hours.

We often think of life as moving in rather sharply-defined, straight directions. I thik this is an oversimplification born of how we recall memories at a later time. If asked to draw a map, most of us would not remember many subtle or even radical changes that take place in the route. We will first tend to think in straight lines, including only the most radical aberrations.

Memory also fails to account for changes on the ground.

the route has been altered

Those who alter your path may not be out to get you, but perhaps just as bad, they simply don’t give a shit. Their indifference may be just as harmful to you on any given day.

no one gives a shit

Still, there are often signs about, placed there by those who’ve gone before. They give warnings of all kinds.

slow down, hidden (danger!)

dangerous intersection

Sometimes the guidance you need is there, if you care to see it.

stop ahead

It sure would be nice to know in advance when your life is going to be turned upside-down, wouldn’t it?

curve!

A gentle nudge in the right direction would be nice every now and then.

this way!

Whenever possible, it’s nice to avoid having everything come to a complete halt.

stop! all ways
