   This is just amazing, Phil. The sky, the vines. It makes me think of an article I read a while back (it became a book, I think) concerning what would happen if humans suddenly disappeared from the planet. How long before the roads and skyscrapers crumbled away? What would be the last sign of humans left standing, and how long would it remain standing? This gas pump seems well on its way to oblivion. Which would be a good name for a Texas town: Oblivion, TX.

   I love the thought of that, Daryl. Perhaps when Cindy and yourself relocate you should live in a place called Oblivion, TX. I’d be banging at your door looking for refuge!

   What first came to mind when I saw this photograph earlier today on Flickr was that it was a post-apocalyptic scene; then I thought, No, that’s wrong. To say that would be to resort to the distortions of a cliché, and this image is altogether quieter, more thoughtful than any clichéd post-apocalyptic vision.

   In other words, what Daryl said.
