I have blogged a photo of the yellow board
that covers this garage window a few blocks away
before. Now the dissolution of the entire garage
has become an object of some interest for me. The
roof has seen better decades the stucco is flaking and
even the faithful yellow board is cracking.
Is this the end?

 
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

The Hollow Men
T.S. Eliot



It isn’t necessary to imagine the world ending in fire or ice

 — there are two other possibilities: one is paperwork,
and the other is nostalgia.
