Red wall (in a blues club men's room) with graffiti words scratched into it. One reads BE WITH SOMEONE THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY. Someone else then x-ed out the word WITH. I approve of the improvement.

Improved advice scrawled on a men's room wall in a Chicago blues bar.

they do look yummy!

Post a perfect album from 1989, a perfect music year. Let's not forget Paul's Boutique!

B&W photo of a rambling clapboard two-story building with four chimneys, paint worn away, windows askew, it share a hilltop near Richmond, VA with the current Juvenile Correctional Center. Spooky!

This place just has to be #haunted. Not far from our house, the #abandoned Bon Air Home for Wayward Girls.

color photo, stone carving, the size of your hand, which to me seems like a vagina sketch, which makes sense if these carvings were indeed made as portals to rebirthing in the spirit world.

An ancient #Cherokee or Creek #petroglyph, Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest, near Blairsville, GA. Some of these carvings are 2,000 years old, believed to have served as portals to the spirit world.

Wow. Yeah, when I visited (1996) they were using a little shed as the museum - which only made it more fun!

safe travels!

Ah, Wendover! Cannot forget a visit to the little WWII/UFO museum there long ago. No one else around, had to call a number to find the key to the door, and inside all that spooky stuff (Enola Gay, alien sightings).... Thanks for pic!

Please pick this peck of peppers to pickle - pronto!

yeah, all of Richmond's cemeteries are remarkable; the horribly neglected or destroyed old African burial grounds too. Got into that way deep writing my Night Doctor of Richmond book.

Thank you so much for sharing this sweet story!

If you come in the main gate by the chapel and just walk up that road, it's not far and right near the road.

remember when Biden did this and the Internet exploded?
