Tuck in the sheets, especially at the corners.

The rest will take care of itself.

Served with honey, treacle and maple syrup, life was, how do you say – sweet.

The embarrassed bankers.

They are uncomfortable and wriggle in their seats when there is a credit balance on a credit card.

This is the billboard for the new absurdity.

They are clearing the streets.

Signs are posted announcing a temporary ban on parking.

An event is on the way. People are on their way.

It will get crowded, excitement charging the air, then it will be back to the usual pattern. Every day people will park, then return to their cars and drive away.

Perhaps the event is the “usual pattern” and when the signs come down there is a pause between one batch of the usual and the next. Perplexing.

Dust and dirt mark the spot, and sometimes create the context.

No country for the obsessively clean!

An appealing introduction to the new interplanetary subdivision.

Half-life estates and ocean size swimming pools heated by solar retrace and capture.

Endless fountains and crystal clear, pure water.

We love the designs.

We want “in”. But. But something causes us to pause.
