summer in the desert again. joliet, IL.

driving wedding photos to a family at a funeral. joliet in the summer time(2005). so bleak and dead, and brown and yellow it could have been gray but the ac was broken (at 100 degrees + with humidity, this speaks to the color(s)). there was stickey beige leather interior with a sunroof, two sweaty boys and a dead bee (sleeper cell. latent threat).

a few weeks later, at the real height of summer... we drove the same car, through the desert again... colorado, new mexico, arizona, and california.

chicago, and its swamps have (some of) the hottest heat. i promise.

this is a year later... at a wedding, on a sidewalk, in the lush desert of joliet, il. july, 2006.

he's way dead by now
