Next time I'll finish it. By the way, it does seem that as delusional systems collapse, most people will become crazier rather than saner. I think that's interesting.
This alley is good because it is what it is, and everything here is very simple and mostly inert.
Even though these images have been modified in various ways they are a fairly accurate mapping of the real external world into a two-dimensional image space, and should not be in any way controversial. Unlike the image below.
I did not create this image, but I approve of it. Probably controversial though.
Got a lot of mileage out of these photos but we are getting close to the end.
But we are not there yet!
Next time around will probably be it for this alley.
Hospitals at capacity in two Texas counties and residents ordered to shelter-in-place. Are we great again yet? Not to worry-- the loony toon buffoon says it will all go away. We're winning! His supporters have eaten a lot of shit, and they are eager for more-- can't get enough. So tasty.
If people must have a conspiracy theory, the most obvious choice is that Trump is a Russian asset, and his mission is to kill as many Americans as possible, divide the country as much as possible, and weaken our institutions as much as possible. COVID is making this even easier to accomplish-- nature's gift to Vladimir Putin. Another weapon. And Trump is using it well.
When I took these photos a month or so ago, things looked pretty bad, but now, things are looking much worse. Amazing what can happen in a month's time. Not to worry. The loony toon buffoon will make it all better. Instead of using Neil Young's music at Mt. Rushmore, Blue Oyster Cult's "Don't Fear the Reaper" would have been more appropriate. And then, maybe, AC/DC's "Highway to Hell".
Yes, there are things one might call vistas in this alley. I was a visitor, in search of vistas. I found the vistas.
And here they are.
This collection of photos is still not exhausted. These vistas have served me well.
Right out of the fifties.
Those were not the good old days, unless you were the right color. Wrong color, and in the wrong part of the country, and they were very bad days. In fact, there never were any good old days. A myth. Maybe you were fortunate, and YOU had some good old days. But a LOT of other people had shitty old days.
We are told again that COVID will go away. So, on what rational basis would one think that? Apart from wishful thinking? A RATIONAL basis. No rational basis has been provided, for thinking that COVID will "go away".
