More Signs

 

Are these signs of the times, of excess population blow off? Of a society that has gotten too big to take care of itself? Too successful? Too much of a gulf between them, and us? Being poor in the USA means something entirely different.
This is the true exceptionalism that the politicians keep reassuring us with, our divine birthright, which comes down from the hand of god.
The SignFlyers are just engaging in an analog Kickstarter campaign, just to live. That is their project. And I don't begrudge them that, as long as they don't begrudge me the ability to ignore them.

Street Scene, 1630 Saturday afternoon, Main and 10th. Boise Idaho

hillfolk on the Modern patio

Twilight 

I overheard them on the way to my car, and circled back to have a Caldera IPA at the bar, and listen in for a few minutes. It was as glorious an evening as you had any right to expect, and even though I had just a few minutes to spare, they were well spent there on the patio, listening to my friends do their thing.
All was right, just for a few minutes.

Give me 5. I need a spare.

New Murals, All The Time.  

The Boise Hole is a lot of things. Eyesore? Maybe. Dwayne Carver told me he kind of likes the rusty forms poking up out of the hole.
Of course, the Hole is a monument to our present condition, as well as the recent past.
Failed credit lines, failed ideas, failed imagination.
The facade that is tacked up to conceal it. Even though the facade has interesting content sometimes.

Planter Lady.

AT AA5 . Watching her phone and not the band. It's what it all means.
She found her person and they met by the fountain. The cracks on her heels made me think about my girl, and the things that you get to know about another person in the course of your life together. There are so many mundane things to share. Like cracked skin and physical ailments. 
Perhaps you shouldn't.  The mystery of another person keeps the heartrate go up, the pulse to quicken. The early relationship times where things are new and exciting. 
It can't go on forever.
Can it?
