When in Jerome, Arizona...

...do as the Jeromans do.

Jerome takes shabby-chic uptown. 

This is The House of Joy. Joy wasn't in, but her sister, Chronic Low-Grade Depression, was.

A man walked in, asked for the owner, and complimented her bottle garden (shown ^ above). He told her he had been here several times, and wanted her permission to photograph the display. PERMISSION DENIED, good sir! I've indicated where you could see the bottle garden, should you look toward it.

What? You can't photograph the bottles? I didn't even want to until I heard that. If Kate Middleton were in the bottle garden, anyone could photograph her. That's how public the display.

Maybe he wanted to walk down into it? The gall.

I just hope he learned his lesson about civility and courtesy.

You'll enjoy an afternoon in Jerome, or maybe longer if you find it irresistible. It was extremely busy on a Saturday. Lots of art and pretty things to look at, hold, break, and pay for.
There are a few restaurants with vegan options. We settled on Quince (15), with their veggie wrap. Bonus points for having a rainbow equality sticker in their window.
Leave the big rig down below and drive your toad. Small rigs should be okay.
