a short walk


I have a fascination with faded signs. And alleys. I am so weird. 

Since I'm still not driving Bonnie took Pat for bloodwork today. We were going to meet at Perkins for breakfast. Pat's appointment was at 7:30 am, so I left the house at 7:45. They called at 8 to tell me they were on their way. I was at CVS.

I cut thru CVS's parking lot and headed to the alley behind it. I looked up at this crumbling garage that I've seen a million times before and said, shit, there are letters on there. So I went to investigate, and take pictures of course. It says "Frank A. Scattene Plumbing and Heating Supplies." What's really interesting is at places the board is peeling up but by the out line of the letters. Maybe i'm spending too much time prepping for the fall term.

Anyway, I got to Perkins about 5 minutes before they did. Bonus: I had zero trouble crossing the intersection. I've already waiting 5+ minutes to cross that street. And more than once.

ps: after lunch I went out and ran the car for five minutes. Then I opened the garage door, and moved the car forward a few feet, and back. Just to rotate the tires. I was terrified.

Miles/Steps:   Less than 1 mile
Weather:          mid-70s, partly cloudy
