We ventured by a city my parents traversed through monthly in my youth. The highway itself was pockmarked and in need of some serious roadwork due to the troublesome winter briefly mentioned in the opening paragraph.

The gargoyles’ silent muted forms with their hidden purpose. Put there by the unknown long ago architects’ hand. I was looking for the niches the hidden carved stone gargoyles along the sides of buildings, designed usefully and ornamentally to prevent rainwater from running down masonry walls.
