it ain't all sunshine, baby

On the way home from Fargo in late September, we stopped off at Sauk Center. It was Sinclair Lewis’ hometown, and the place is still very proud of the fact that their Main St. was the model for his best-selling novel Main Street. The day we were there was nippy. It was drizzling and I had forgotten to bring a jacket. I was tired and in need of a cup of tea and a bathroom — in other words, whiny and not feeling the camera at all (which is obvious in the shot.) Sauk Center is a lovely, historical small town that is doing its best to preserve what it has, and it deserved more from me than that. But some days, you don’t have much left to give.
