Normal Sights From My Work Week

The following pictures were taken by enternamehere last week in and around the Dallas-Fort Worth area. ![steemit-enternamehere-up_tag-green-vandalism-trailer.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSUp84haVJ8WeyVNvWMXJBihNpu958LMoPJgNhHKbTUbS/steemit-enternamehere-up_tag-green-vandalism-trailer.jpg)

Up? So many interpretations are opened up here. What's up? Up yours, up to you, up until, up to here, nowhere to go but up, shut up, keep up, catch up, ketchup, sit up, stand up... ![steemit-enternamehere-imacat-shirt-halloween-costume.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmb3QsnWTEr622c9kvPSjAhkaDWBfD92xik3AeUr28VNxC/steemit-enternamehere-imacat-shirt-halloween-costume.jpg)

That's an easy Halloween costume. Or maybe it's a soon-to-be-favorite everyday shirt for some lucky lady. ![steemit-enternamehere-downtown-carrollton-cloudy-view.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNQfy1eycPudRzQn8qfoPA1HNbdoCxGcfzqGXFyGcSQF4/steemit-enternamehere-downtown-carrollton-cloudy-view.jpg)

Here's a decent view of downtown Carrollton. Sure the sky is cloudy, that's no problem though. It has come a long way in the last decade or so. There's been a lot of work done to beautify and rejuvenate their square, polite applause. ![steemit-enternamehere-organizer-metal-oetiker-beerclamp-work.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmP73ni3fRLF7nSCAbor9GJ9XvEdHH4UoxaVNnCfBLnQYR/steemit-enternamehere-organizer-metal-oetiker-beerclamp-work.jpg)

One of many daily tasks on the list: organizing. This time it's Oetiker clamps. They are a kind of clamp that secures flexible tubing, like on a beer system. These are now sorted by size - yes! ![steemit-enternamehere-dallas-discount_warehouse-open-forsale.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVbFzVUaEciX8gpw1E2McU1P1KANWr8pGcNkmnv8sKtaQ/steemit-enternamehere-dallas-discount_warehouse-open-forsale.jpg)

What is this store's best-selling item? Stacking chairs? Clothing? Inflatable fish? Who can really say? ![steemit-enternamehere-dallas-discount-bonsai-tree-van-parking.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaMAGz2zqyMSNjvcTTEwASazUdG3gyxhBqNoRPnhPCEde/steemit-enternamehere-dallas-discount-bonsai-tree-van-parking.jpg)

Has anyone ever bought a bonsai from one of these kinds of sellers? They seem to get steady business because they set up shop like this almost anywhere along a roadside where there is moderate traffic. Wonder where they get their trees. ![steemit-enternamehere-mushroom-trail-outdoors-nature.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbXJXNPHv72TfAbQuWTz18j1zMEQ5fb6yPt7nWwipR3fT/steemit-enternamehere-mushroom-trail-outdoors-nature.jpg)

Where does this fancy little path lead? An underground fairy kingdom? Or maybe into a toad's lair? Probably just to nowhere though. ![steemit-enternamehere-mantis-windshield-sunset-bugs-splat.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRAxaLqRWfACrhCNTZ8day8TUGxidVjPEcUGtf6Nfo4tH/steemit-enternamehere-mantis-windshield-sunset-bugs-splat.jpg)

Sometimes you're the windshield; sometimes you're the bug.

Anyone else remember that Mary Chapin Carpenter song? There's some kind of irony in the mantis standing on the bug-splattered windshield, and the sunset is a nice touch too. °°°°

Are you ready to become better this week?
