I’ve passed by this place a thousand times. Likely more. I’ve always wanted to stop and take a picture. But there’s never time. Until today.

It’s important to make time for even the smallest things, before there’s no time left.

US Rte 50 at Rabbit Hill Road.

It snowed here. A couple of inches yesterday, and another inch or so over night. The overnight snow was the wet, clingy, mushy kind that usually just leaves a mess. But it also clung to the trees and bushes, kind of like a winter coat.

An all-but-abandoned farmhouse on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Many of the farms on the shore have been bought up by large corporations, and are farmed “remotely” while others are sold for residential and commercial development. The days of the tenant farmer and Maryland’s agricultural heritage dwindle.

I took my mother to the Verizon store near her house to get her “new” iPhone SE 3 set up. She was having a lot of problems with her aging iPhone 7. The reason for replacing an old phone with a slightly less old phone is that the iPhone SE 3 is the last phone Apple made with a physical button on the face (that button has been replaced with a swipe motion that she can’t manage. I’m sure she’s not the only one). While we were having lunch, Verizon suffered a major network outage.

On my drive home, I passed by this long-abandoned telephone microwave tower. There’s no signal there.
