Taxi medallion in Boston.

We’re open, but not too late!

The attention-getter sign on the sidewalk in front of Auburn Art, on College Street, downtown.

We were pleased, last fall, to see that Daylight Donuts was opening a satellite store near our home. It was a mile-and-a-half away. We could walk there and burn the calories.

I think we went three times.

Now it is closed. The Daylight guy, who is friendly and always ready to talk your ear off, put up a “Due to rising fuel and production costs” note. The landlord, right next to that, taped a “Due to failure to pay rent” note. You decide.

Only the signage and shelving remain. Very sad.

At least they still have the big store on the main road …

I don’t understand these. “I’m a rebel rouser! But have made certain concessions to age, girth and/or courage …”

I was trying to take a picture through the passenger side window. Got a little ahead of myself.

A few years ago now Regions Bank did a marketing campaign based on green bikes, why I’ve no idea. When the campaigners over they gave a handful of the bikes to Samford University. The students use them as loaners.

The fender on this one has seen better days.

Big wheels get all of the glory and don’t often have to worry about road miles. And they captivate little boys.

On I-85 in Auburn.

Too much. But I’m changing addresses and other personal information to confuse, misdirect and lose some of that weight.

May it not find its way to you.
