Loose Ends


Returning home from swim practice 
at Butler University, the bus 
passes this neighborhood variety store 
on North Illinois Street.
For whatever reason, I really 
enjoy the artwork painted on the
storefront windows.
In an era when the days of 
homemade, hand-drawn signage
is long-gone, it's a pleasure
to see that someone has gone to
the effort to create such a personal array
of images to showcase their wares.

Winter Colors


After a long shopping odyssey Saturday, I didn't make it home in time 
to stop at the grocery. Christmas morning about 7:30, I walked
a couple blocks to the convenience store for a gallon of milk.
Other mornings, this place is filled with cars and people 
being fueled with gas and coffee so they can get through the day.
This morning, it seemed as though the attendant and I were the only
people in the world. It was calm, peaceful, the way
all mornings should be, not just Christmas. 


Around here, the picture above just might possibly reflect 
the true colors of winter - the purple and blue of 
windshield cleaner/antifreeze.
