After Hurricane Harvey, some gas stations have run out of fuel. I saw this truck parked at a station, off to the side.

Back Seat Driver
“We are not lost!”
“Are so!”
“For the last time —“
“KNOCK IT OFF UP THERE OR I WILL HAVE TO SEPARATE YOU TWO!” Victoria’s parents had been fighting for the last half hour.
From the back seat, Victoria took control. “I don’t want to hear another word out of you until I say so.” They started to protest. “Shush! We’ll use my smartphone GPS and get to where we are going just fine. Both of you, settle down and be quiet. Dad, drive.”
Parents! Victoria shook her head in despair. You try to raise them right . . .

White on White
Photography assignment: White on White.
Not as easy as it sounds. Sure, I found lots of white things around the house: light switches, ceiling fans, ceramic pitchers. But getting them to look decent in a photo was difficult. I think the lighting was my problem.
I finally settled on the inset of our pantry door. I photographed it several times and reviewed the photos on my computer. That’s when I noticed the dirt on the door. How did it get there, all the way up near the top? I have no idea. I interrupted my photography session to clean the door. Or at least, that one part. No need to get carried away, now is there?
More photos followed; more reviews on the computer. I went back to the pantry door, this time angling my camera. I still had to adjust the angle a tiny bit with software and soften the clarity just a tad with software. This is was the photograph I thought managed to meet the White on White requirement.
