On Saturday, September 24, 2016, Mike and I drove to San Antonio for a day trip with my parents. Our first stop was the city's most famous historic site: The Alamo (300 Alamo Plaza).

During our visit to the Alamo's Gift Shop, I paused to take a few photos of the large model of the Alamo complex displayed in the center of the gift shop. The model was set up as a diorama depicting the Battle of the Alamo in 1836. (The reflections on the glass are from the building's high windows above.) In this photo, you can see the church building toward the upper right and the Long Barrack (former convent) extending toward the upper left. Mexican troops have surrounded and breaches the Alamo's walls, as the brave defenders lay dead and dying inside...

I was on a road!

In the small towns of the U.S. people have been thinking that their traditional ways of life — which had been dependent on the "videotan" business model (combining UV tanning with VHS movie rental) — are DOOMED because of changes nobody around here asked for. "Paperback books might get us by for a few more years but what then?"
