Today we went to vote at the Lowell Street Fire Station. I was a little worried that the lines would be long; however, there was no line at all. I voted in under five minutes, and my polling station was a seven minute walk away. It was a beautiful day and all the volunteers there were so helpful and nice! :)




On the way home, we found Fraggle Rock! OK, maybe it wasn't Fraggle Rock, but we saw a fun mural painted in a tunnel by Mrs. Sweeney's class at the John F. Kennedy Elementary School with local artist Tova Speter.

We visited the Prada Marfa on our trip through west Texas last month as we drove from Marfa to El Paso. The permanent installation is actually in Valentine, TX, outside of Marfa. The building is all alone on Highway 90.

No one was around. I wouldn't have taken this photo from the middle of a highway otherwise.


Here's the store:




Luckily the glass is bullet-proof. "Dialogue Between Two Worlds."


Art begets art. The edge of the building has been decorated with notes, business cards, and other objects,


and many of the fence posts surrounding Prada Marfa bear old shoes.
