Day 37 - Jerome

Clearing Winter Storm, at the coffee patio.

Something we all need a little of these days.

Spirits welcome - but only if you're 21 - with ID.

The ever-changing magic coin toss toilets.

The biggest, baddest purveyor of banned books in the continental US. Long live free speech!!

The biggest, baddest scareflies in the continental US.

Haunted hamburgers still thrive here.

I know what I see here - what about you?

Jerome's permanent population is easily outnumbered by cars on a weekend.

It is art if it has a red velvet rope in front of it. I learned this at MoMA many years ago.

The ol' Drainage Ditch.

More patterns to parse.

We were told by a lovely local that these are the "Chinese Steps". Apparently well used by the Chinese Community 100+ years ago as they went about their daily routines. There were a number of ethnic communities in Jerome back then - but they were completely segregated from one another. The steps are wide and shallow here - to accomodate the women whose feet had been bound as babies - forever impacting their ability to normally walk. Russ - with his Chinese ancestry - remarked that at least he had chosen the perfect path for our descent back to town.

The requisite - yes there is always crazy stuff in Jerome shot.

The Pink Busker takes a break.

A figment of the imagination?? We kept driving by quickly!

Puff cloud vs angry raven cloud.

This crazy home was recently featued in the Wall St Journal. We had noted it on past trips - so read with great interest when the article appeared. It is truly a marvel of engineering. Yes - that is an elevator that serves the home from the cliff base up.

Everyone is racing the sunset home.
