What’s the Story Here?
Spotted this on the way to work, and I have to say… I’m stumped. I assume the same person placed these items here, and I’m trying to figure out any kind of narrative that connects them.

Suddenly, Skynyrd
Spotted this on my walk home, after stopping off at the grocery store. I couldn’t see inside the bag, but the note itself made me chuckle. I liked it so much, I had to set all my bags down so I could take this photo.
The Cornerstone to Planet Earth
“The cornerstone (or foundation stone) concept is derived from the first stone set in the construction of a masonry foundation, important since all other stones will be set in reference to this stone, thus determining the position of the entire structure.”
Abandoned School Project
I didn’t see any kids around, and given some of the water damage I spotted… my best guess is that this has been sitting for some time. Possibly left here the day before, on someone’s way home.
Found Note in the Chimney

A Little Green
Spotted this over the weekend. Guessing this is one of the many cottonwood seeds that drifted down all around our house, a few weeks ago.
A Briefcase Full of Tools

Missing Commonality
What’s striking to me is that it seems like the same hand wrote both names. But equally puzzling is both names are misspelled.

Sometimes, I have an idea or concept that I’ll jot down, and maybe paste in a few links. I always plan on going back to these drafts and turning them into full-on posts, but sometimes I forget and they just sit there.
Finding a Lot of Bread Today
On our walk to work today, I happened to notice someon had left a half-eaten bit of bread on a nearby bush. It struck me as kind of funny, in a “I want the birds to get this, but not the dogs” kind of way.
What Once Was Lost…
Liz found my camera! Ever since the move – I’ve not been able to find it. The camera has been “missing” for about 2 years now.
Ron Slattery’s Amazing Collection of Found Photographs
on Slattery was one of the amazing presenters at last week’s 20×2 Chicago event. While I was looking over the links to all the speakers recently, I stumbled across Ron Slattery’s website, bighappyfunhouse.com.
Amsterdam in Chicago
Found this buried in the overgrowth, near the embankment by our front yard. I like thinking that even though we visited Amsterdam recently… Amsterdam was missing us, and decided to pay us a visit. Related: Amsterdam, Day 1 Gregory Alan Isakov: Amsterdam
Better Late Than… Well, At Least We Found It
I’m going on a trip next week, and had a passing thought earlier this morning that… Maybe I should go find my passport. Liz and I hadn’t discussed this yet, and so because of that I figured things were still fine.
A Lovely Design Feature, Trashed
The Target has no actual signage outside (save the logo), and has retained a lot of the original architectural features of the building. It’s in the Sullivan Center (formerly the Carson, Pirie, Scott Building).
