A Great Pumpkin

October 31, 2009

      
 Edgar Allen Poe and Raven
were taken with this pumpkin
 (see the Oct. 19 post),
 a round straw bale
 fancifully transformed
 into a pumpkin
 to let people know
 about Duncan’s Corn Maze along the Robesonia-Bernville Road.
 Ingenious, honest solution to the problem. Happy Hallowe’en!

Weekend Update:

 Have you ever gone straight through? Jabal Tariq, it was. Tariq’s Mountain.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Warrior and Edgar Allan Poe and Sizzy journeyed to Gibraltar.

 
Gibraltar, PA. U.S.A.: a village of  apparently few inhabitants and no official population count.  Just the straits, ma’am.
The township population is 6,869 and 97% white (2000 Census figures).
Eddie thought he saw a sign for Elf-Storage, so [...]

Please Inflate Me, Let Me Roll

January 17, 2009

   Can rubber do that in this weather?  The tires of the Sizzyphus excursion module feel transmogrified into squares, turning, almost limping, with a bump-bump-bump rhythm as we first drive away from home this morning.
  The world seems moonscapish. The salt and brine treatments on the roads and the monochromish landscape radiate a lunar effect [...]

Come to: the Fork in the Road

September 14, 2008

   “Would you like to go for a drive?” I said [...]

Hug Those Curves

July 3, 2008

    Couple of weeks ago, the tires on my truck need balancing. So I take it in for service. I wait.
   Jonathan, the owner of the shop that takes care of my wheels lets me know the truck is ready, all set to go.
   “Now [...]

Let me draw a bead on you.  Oh! to be between a rock and a hard place! Suspension between horizonal points of helios. Today’s the day.
