One thing amazed me-- no signs of a homeless presence. That is unusual.
The USA has the highest COVID mortality rate in the world, as well as the highest infection rate. No surprise from "for-profit heathcare". Great doctors, great nurses, poor access, high prices and crappy health plans that cost too much. A lot of people who get sick and manage to recover will be crippled for the rest of their lives with medical bills. The rich love it, and people who think they're rich but aren't, and the rest of us are screwed. Amerika. With a "K". Or is it "3K"?
By the way, several years ago I froze my credit records with every major agency. All FOUR of them. Still frozen. Let them stay that way. Too many vipers. Lots more alley to go. Oh, yeah, I froze my wife's records too, and they are still frozen. And so they shall remain.
Plenty of sights. When I'm finally finished with this it'll be back in the garden again. Should be safe enough in THAT jungle.
It's unlikely that I will ever find another alley as interesting as this one was.
When I began this, taking these photos, there were far fewer cases of COVID locally and nationally, and in the rest of the world. Now there are many more cases. And when I finish there will be many, many, more cases than there are today. You sort of wonder how long some people can stay in denial. I'm sure some people will go to their graves in denial: "It's all a hoax!" Could be a good epitaph. Carve it on their tombstones.
And do it up right. The bars have been closed. They should never have opened. Talk about non-essential. More like a public nuisance. Couldn't care less about the fate of bars.
Now, a Bar and Grill, well, that makes more sense. But it isn't even clear that those type places can operate safely. There is no way I would go to a restaurant. Not worth the risk. And that's sad. I'd hate to see our restaurants go under. I hope take out orders can keep them alive. I might try some take out this weekend. I'd go in with a mask, of course. And try to stay away from people. And hope they stay away from me. Before COVID I already had plenty of reasons to be depressed. Now-- I don't even want to think about it.
Still more to go.
An alley like this would be a great place to have your delusional system collapse in. Or to have your alternate reality "post-truth" bubble burst. So peaceful.
One thing for sure, the COVID ain't going away, no matter what the loony toon buffoon says.
Reality rules, while fantasy just gets crushed.
Sure seems like a lot of Texans are too dumb to take the elementary precautions required to reduce chances of infection. These are people who richly deserve their Darwin Awards. Unfortunately they're a threat to the rest of us, and a threat to the healthcare professionals who are trying to save their sorry butts. But Texans have never been known for being smart.
There's a lot of abstract expressionism going on this alley.
Jackson Pollack?
Lots more alley to go, and lots more insanity, out in the world. What a world. What a nuthouse.
