A few extra photos from the last quarter of 2025.

The font on a public bathroom in St. Augustine caught my eye in October.

 

Sunset on Halloween heading east on I-90; I’m not sure exactly where this is, probably in South Dakota. Wherever it is they’re building a new water tower to supplement the old golf ball style one.

 

Jacket I bought on my big fall trip. I’d seen it at several Love’s truck stops before I succumbed and bought it. Haven’t worn it much since I’ve been back but it still makes me smile (even though the black parts are pilling in spots after just the small number of wears I did get in in October and November).

 
As chain stores go bankrupt and leave malls, that leaves room for smaller local businesses to move in, like this one I saw in Vancouver, Washington that specialized in quinceañera dresses and other very flashy formal wear.

 
Before we left home, Mr. Karen deflated the Mickey balloons (couldn’t have them lurking around the house scaring people coming to showings), but not before I documented them. Light blue had joined purple in being down one ear.
