Car Wash-- Fragrance And Vacuum

 Smell the fragrance. Breathe the vacuum.

In the car wash

you can get really clean

just like in your dream

of the CAR WASH!

Oh, in the CAR WASH

you can do your thing,

you can smell the aroma

and vacuum too,

in the CAR WASH!

In the CAR WASH

anything goes, 

you can wear

your rubber hose,

your can dab your mitts

with a moist towel-ITTE--

in the CAR WASH

of your DREAMS!

You can spend your empty days inside the empty bays of a stone dead CAR WASH.

The machines they don't dispense, but you've got no cents, ANYWAY.

It's the CAR WASH! Oooobie Dooobie Dooooobie Doooo. Smell the fragrance! Breathe the vacuum!

That Old Abandoned Car Wash

Once upon a time, maybe, many cars there, all getting sprayed, hosed, waxed, washed, rinsed. Now, all dead. All gone, the little ones. And the big ones. The old ones. The new ones. The sporty ones. The sober ones. 

Now there are empty bays and empty spaces, and the howling winds. 

It is a great emptiness there.

At the car wash. But at least there is still trash.

 

Still At The Car Wash

And stupid people are still doing stupid things. Humanity might not be too stupid to survive, but I have doubts about the "western world"-- lots of profoundly toxic nonsense floating around. Are Asians really smarter? Could be. And, if so, then let Asia rise-- and let the "western world" crash and burn. 

That there are people running around loose, still supporting Trump and some sort of idiot "conservative agenda" is both mysterious and depressing. Where are the men in white coats when you need them? Would there be enough rubber rooms available, to hold the GOP base? How base is that base anyway? Have we seen the bottom yet? IS there a bottom? 

So many crazies, and so many dim-bulbs, and so many both crazy and dim-witted. That is not a recipe for survival. It's more like a prescription for extinction. But most of the lunacy seems to be confined to one half of the globe. That's at least encouraging. Something might survive, elsewhere. Other cultures. Saner cultures.

That Old Car Wash In Lubbock

 That's where we are, now.

As usual, I wonder why it went out of business.

We'll be here for the next few days, and then, back to the garden, such as it is now, so late in the season.

Finish Here Go There Always In Lubbock

 It would take exceptional circumstances to get me to go outside of town for photographs now, in the way that I used to. I can't even imagine what those circumstances would be. Unthinkable. 

I zoomed in on this homeless person pushing a shopping cart full of possessions. That seemed to be a good way to finish this location. And now, on to the old, abandoned, car wash!

That car wash is right next to this place, which used to be a movie theater, and then it became a batting practice, and now is it is nothing but closed. Vacant, I guess, and it's been like that for years. I ought to check out the alley here. I don't think I've done that yet. 

The car wash beckons! It was one of those do-it-yourself places. We'll be taking a close look, and we'll be finding signs that homeless people have used it for a shelter.
