Modern Antiquities | Damascus, AR | September 2019
Travelogue #3 | I’ve reached the age when everyday objects of my youth now cruise toward extinction. Specifically, a pair of bullet-nosed Ford sedans from the early 1950s rusting in a vacant lot along an Arkansas highway. What’s now home to hornets was once the best dating vehicle for drive-in movies. Big wide seats, no obstructions — a perfect platform for canoodling.

[My brother Scott and I rendezvous each autumn in the Arkansas Ozarks. We fish, hike, eat, explore and talk too much about things nobody else cares about.]
