A Great Pumpkin

      
 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!

Picket Charge

   For the Fourth, Warrior and Edgar visit a painted picket fence with artwork in lieu of fireworks. Free admission.

Weekend Warrior: Straight Through Gibraltar

  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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.

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

   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

   Three miles from everywhere, in the middle of nowhere is a real, BIG fork in the middle of the road. Warrior and I made our way here because the white plastic fork was gone from the walking trail this morning and there were zero herons.
   “Would you like to go for a drive?” I said [...]

Hug Those Curves

     Genie in the garage. Road sign: bridge. Road narrows. Hourglass on orange.
    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 [...]

Aim True

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.
