That photo was taken in March, 2019, on our visit to Portland to look for somewhere to live once we knew my wife had gotten the job here. Tonight - almost exactly seven years later - I was looking for images of "embers" to share & maybe write something dumb about them - since they're this week's theme - & my computer gave me this picture when I searched the term.
Which confused me. Does the weird hood of that weird car look like embers? Is there some fire damage or something in the photo? What the hell does that picture have to do with embers? Then I noticed:
The old car's owners supported Oregon Public Broadcasting. I guess the computer confused "member" for "ember."
Oh damn it just occurred to me, I had so much fun trying to figure out why the computer thought the image had anything to do with embers that I forgot you might have enjoyed it, too. A kind of Where's Waldo? sort of thing. But I ruined it. Dang.
It has become impressive tho hasn't it that our computers find words in our images? I am almost as impressed as I am frightened!
