Chapter 1

Found this on a sidewalk near Martha’s Vineyard a couple years ago. It still makes me laugh. What the heck!

Transient Memo

I found this in an ashtray outside of work this morning, complete with dime and wristband on it.

Prayer In Bad Weather

I was over from the UK visiting a friend and I found this on the pavement/sidewalk. Cow girl, horses, wagon wheels– just like I seen in the movies.

Sometime Hours Later

I found this after moving into a new house. It made me worried that I should call the landlord before there were any problems.
