I’m back in the US now but thought I’d post this photo I took last week in Belgium. This was a glass-encased display of obsolete objects in the train station in Brugge. I think it was some kind of ad for a youth hostel. I didn’t really get it then. I don’t really get it now. Nevertheless, I love it.

This postcard is…obsolete!

(And, no, my finger isn’t dirty. It’s ink-stained. Happens sometimes when I use my fountain pen. Yes, I use a fountain pen. But few people seem to notice it when I whip it out in public…they’re more interested in looking at the phonograph player I keep balanced on my shoulder…).
