Winding down...

The seasons are changing and we're starting to bundle up our trailer for winter.  Another big rain storm is headed our way, so we got the trailer covered - the trailer doesn't leak now, but it definitely has a water catchment spot we don't want to turn into a leak!

We thought we might take it out again, but it's not looking like we will now.  Michael has started the stain and varnish project (which means lots of fumes that need to air out), and the weather is taking a turn.  It could still happen, but my work schedule needs to hit a weekend of nice weather... yeah, right.

It's going to be a long winter of not doing much with our trailer.  I'll have to work hard to find interesting things to post about!

Tonight I somehow got on the track of looking up Slab City in California - it looks fascinating, yet horrible.  At least they have a library!  I like the landscaping.

I'm not so sure I want to go there.  I thought I did, but...

I think maybe not.  [I watched a short documentary about Slab City that deteriorated into a guy going out to find some meth.  Not terribly appealing, despite the interesting things to see down there.]

So many sights!  So may weirdos!  Not so high on my list, after all.


G'night!

Tuesday Trash

Tuesday already?

I was sitting in a meeting this afternoon, and we were discussing a blog I'm scheduled to write a couple of posts for this week.  All of a sudden I thought to myself - TUESDAY!  Trash day!  Time to bring out the decay.

So many trailers have been abandoned, just left to rot where they are.  Sad, yet beautiful in their own way.  Slowly crumbling to little bits of nothing - once loved, now lost.  Each has a story to tell, but we'll never hear those stories since the owners have long gone on to other things.  We're just left with images of human ingenuity, crumbling slowly as the seasons pass - wind, rain, searing heat and snow eating away at the edges until integrity fails and collapse occurs...

Beautiful.
