The 'patio' area of a dive bar for bikers. There's a sign reading, "Speed Bump," a community mailbox with all the doors unlocked, an orange traffic cone, a small table, and the passenger side door of an old pickup. In the background is the trunk of a Mustang (late 60s, early 70s?) and a skeleton on a Harley Davidson motorcycle.

The patio of a biker dive bar, just outside of the bad part of town. The beer was cheap, the music was loud, the judgement was impaired, and the decisions were questionable.

Stacks of wooden pallets behind a warehouse under construction. A wide swath of 'un-improved' land behind the pallets separates the construction site from a bicycle trail.

Yesterday, while I was absolutely NOT trespassing, I came across a pile of stacked wooden pallets and found them oddly appealing.

A black-and-white photograph of a warehouse under construction.

Probably not trespassing very much.

At the May 28th No Kings protest, a person is holding up a red flag with the image of the Statue of Liberty and the phrase "No Kings."

So much shit is happening everywhere all the time. It's only been two weeks since the most recent #NoKings protest, but it already feels like old history.

The shadow of a traffic light cast on the sidewalk and an urban mall. A wee bit of a manhole cover can be seen, and a panel to some sort of electrical whatsit.

A yellow dumpster, temporarily positioned on a main street during some renovation work, is partially lit by soft sunlight.

We are deep in dumpster days.

At the recent No Kings protest, a woman holds up a sign reading, "No kings, only queens." In the background is the golden dome of the Iowa state capitol.

A black-and-white photograph of an older, bearded gentleman wearing a puffy coat, sunglasses, and a baseball cap. He's holding a No Kings sign and an inverted US flag.

A reminder that every day is #NoKings day. Especially true on this particular day.

A house just outside a small town, with a display of inflatable Easter bunnies and a flag of the United States. In the background are a tractor and a pickup.

Religion is weird.

A balding gentleman half-jogging half-walking in a section of the skywalk during the lunch hour.

So here's me, noodling along in the skywalk, when I hear this 'thud thud thud' coming up behind me. I pluck my little #ricohgr3x from my pocket & wait a moment. This guy comes trundling along.
Good on him, doing the work. It's not easy.

Broad Street (the main drag of a small town). The town center is a block long, of which most of the shops are closed or empty. There's a building on which the letter 'C' and an arrow pointing to Broad Street has been painted.

Small towns, the best and worst of the US. Polite & friendly on the surface, suspicious & anxious below. I love to visit them, but wouldn't want to live in one.

At the No Kings event, a woman in a straw hat accompanied by a cheerful dog.

One of the many things I enjoyed about the local #NoKings event was the number of #dogs who chose to attend with their humans. I stand with #DogsAgainstFascism.

A woman wearing frog headband and a red coat holding an ebike, which she rode to the No Kings protest.

I saw this woman's headband through the crowd at the #NoKings event. I didn't see her #ebike until I got out of the crowd. She said the protest location was too close to drive to, but too far (& too uphill) for her to walk. #Ebike to the rescue.
