SD & I found a 2nd "Volume" tag in an alley that is 1/2 block north of Main Street today.

We saw a Lego planter on Main Street too; I'm sure it has been there awhile, but I just noticed it today.

PLACE: 1st block of North 9th Street
SUBJECT: Tag on door

*~*~*

On this very rainy, very cold Saturday, SD and I did a bit of thrift shopping.

I needed a frame for a photo DQ had given me for Christmas and, more importantly, I needed to get out of the house for a bit.

We parked on the side of the building, but I didn't notice this graffiti tag until we returned to the car.

SD informed me that this particular tag is around St. Louis as well.  How does she know these things?

Almost a Rainbow & Some Graffiti (249/366)

TIME: 1:16 pm

PLACE: Jackman's Fabrics
SUBJECT: Quilting fabrics

TIME: 1:35 pm

PLACE: Outside fabric store
SUBJECT: Graffiti

*~*~*

My sewing machine was not working right - the dang thread cutter wasn't working and the bobbin thread was getting all rat's nested up in the case - so I took it in for repair.

The store has this wall of fabric color, which I like.

However, it does bother me that it is not in RoyGBiv or even VibGYor order.

Since I don't work there, I guess I can't complain.

A new gas station is going up on next to the store on the corner, hence the dumpster.

I like the graffiti man too.

(taken with my cell phone)

Due to an unexpected departure from our accounting department, we are short-handed the remainder of this week.  That means we all have to work 8 hour days and not our 4-10 hour days with the one day off.  That messes up the plans I had with the girls tomorrow.  As a (very) small consolation prize, I took them to the library tonight.  On the way home - after picking up chocolate at the drug store and getting gas - we were stopped by a train.
