Town Creek
Downtown Abingdon VA. The house behind the trees was for sale the day I was there. Great location. Price would probably make my eyes water. Abingdon’s trendy these days.
Flea Market Find!
Sort of..
I call it an “8-bit Dragon”. Bamboo beads. 6.5 x 7″.
It’s a hot pad. It’s called a trivet. In my vocabulary, a trivet is generally metal and has three legs.
A rose by any other name is a trivet.
I have two of them. Sigh.
Maybe we should just turn back…
This sign stack was spotted on Bloomingdale Pike (Kingsport TN).
Bonsai Trees
These bonsai trees were on sale at Smiley’s Flea Market in North Carolina.
Clouds
Clouds are heavy. They really are.
I mean, they’re water, that’s all –
8.34 pounds per gallon, that’s all.
According to scientists – thus spake Googlethustra –
Your standard cumulus cloud weighs in at 1.1 million pounds.
120,000 gallons of water, give or take a quart or two.
Looming overhead. If it all came crashing
(Hahaha! “Cloud crashing”…a concept)
Down, it’d do more than just mist your glasses.
And then some.
Keep a wary eye on that cloud…
Framed boxcar
These boxcars are parked on a little-used spur line in Ridgefields Industrial Park in Kingsport.
Pet Dairy Products Five Cent Token
Just found this one. It’s the five cent version of the Pet Products token from Johnson City. The ten cent token I posted a little while ago has a diameter of 16.5 mm, while this one is 20 mm.
Pet Dairy Products Co. Token
I found a few of these tokens at a local flea market. Each token is 16.5 mm in diameter. They appear in a token catalog as originating in Johnson City TN, where Pet Dairy has had a milk processing facility since 1929. I think they’re pre-WWII. The token catalog notes that there was a 25 cent and a 5 cent version, too. The 5 cent token is posted here.
Crazy Cat
I have two cats. Believe me, I take signs like this seriously…
This is in Toecane NC.
