Shelly: Weather and chance do nice work with brick and iron, don't they? And...re: beer, *snork!*
Dale: I was thinking AC drainage, but I like Shelly's theory better.
Still shedding the Nasty Cold Symptoms, although the virus has since moved on I think. Coughing gets to be a drag, y'all; I'm looking forward to feeling spunky again.

As always, thanks for the links and introductions to poets I'm not familiar with.
When I saw the words "yellow tube," before I saw your photo, I thought of Vincent van Gogh. That tall window looks like a faceless I-Ching grandfather clock with a dab of yellow paint at the bottom. Dali at play?
Old bricks appeal to me in the same way rust does. I like these bricks. And the patterns on the plywood.
Lori, I'm glad your presentation and journey went well...but sorry a virus decided to ride back with you. (my word is rhampa, which sounds vaguely mysto-Tibetan or something).
I love old buildings. It bothers the hell outta me when they tear them down to put up these ugly new glass things...
If I won the lottery, I'd buy up all the old buildings, and reclaim them...make small living spaces so that everyone would have a place to live...dry, safe, and warm.

Something calming and satisfying about this play of shapes and textures.
But what, I wonder, is the tube for?
Tube is for beer.

Hope you feel spunky again soon!
Sorry to hear you're still not feeling well; I hope you perk up soon.
I love the way the paint is wearing off the bricks in this photo ... the exposed bricks look so soft.
A Question and an Answer
Question:
Why did the paint wear off the bricks the way it did?
Answer:
The yellow tube - that's an AC unit behind the grill barely visible in the window. The tube is the condensate drain.
What do I win? And do I have to give it to the person who answers my Question?
White Elephant!
(Superb. My captcha word is "rantra", which pretty much describes what I'm doing here)
