Title: 11-11-22 weekend
Post by: astrobeck on November 12, 2022, 12:16:23 AM
Reloaded Konica disposable from a few days ago.
It was cold and windy, a few clouds, dreary, but not enough to stay home..
Kodak 200.
THis is not the coveted 17mm wide disposable but the 25mm sibling.
West of Albuquerque there is this abandoned Bar that catches a lot of attention since it's on the old Route 66.

As it's Armistice/Veterans'/Remembrance Day weekend: my grandfathers, both of whom served with the US Army forces in France, in 1918.

My mom's father left his farm at age 32 and was a cook/baker for an enlisted unit; family legend is that his mess was so popular that officers often dined with the troops to get a better meal. My dad's father, in his mid-20s at the time, was a chemist by education and trade, and served in a medical unit closer to the front lines. As a child, I was fascinated with his doughboy helmet and gas mask, which he kept on the garage wall. Neither talked much about the war, but rather the duty they felt to serve the country that had welcomed them as immigrants. I think of them often, particularly this time of year.

I think I remember stopping at that place last year, isn’t this the other side of that sign?

What was the chance that the two of you would have both sides of the same sign? ;D

it's not too long of a longshot actually....since Bryan worked here last summer.

but it is a cool thing to see that a fellow filmwaster walked in the same weeds...and that we could have taken a photo of each other there in some kind of cosmic time warp
