Beautiful Decay

So, with Alzheimer's on the increase, scientists are studying what gives us our sense of self.  Contrary to the typically American attitude that our work defines us, it looks more like an idle brain is the self's workshop.  Gotta fill people's time with jobs, volunteer work, school, or extracurricular activities, otherwise folks might have a chance to figure out who they really are.  Might be dangerous, might not blend in with the herd.

I suppose that the photos I take show my appreciation for the beauty that sometimes results from decay.  Humans tend to muck things up or create clutter, overcomplexificating the world.  I really enjoyed a show on the History Channel titled Life After People.  Check it out, because things fall apart, the center cannot hold.

The city of Detroit is blighted and rusted out like an old Ford so they're gonna bulldoze about a quarter of the town and turn it back into farmland.  They're even planning to raze Mitt Romney's boyhood home because it's an eyesore and a money pit.  There's a magazine for everything - Urban Farm Magazine.
