So, I parked in the pasture last night, hoping a horse would walk across my car... and found this in the morning!
LOL.
True story though - a cat jumped on my car last night. Didn't leave photograph-able evidence.
Another true story - my dad's truck was in the pasture once, while we were working on some fence posts, and my horse grabbed a wiper blade and snapped half of it off. :O
Challenge - pic of your Sonic at a NON-CHAIN grocery store. A little independent, one-of-a-kind, grocery store thing.
This is right in my lil village:
Bonus point if you bought something there when you stopped to snap the pic! (with pic of item as proof of course)

Well if ya want the bonus point for buying something there... My scheme was to get a mom n pop store some business, lol, to help them stay operational.
Nah doesn't have to be operational, I suppose ... I have a closed-down one in a nearby village. Been closed for at least a year, and hasn't sold yet. I don't feel too bad about them going out of business though - they treated their customers like crap. I refused to support them, lol.
For an out-of-business non-chain grocery store: bonus point if the building, or your picture in general, looks creepy/spooky. Eh? (lol, I'm imagining a Sonic with a white sheet thrown over it, holes cut out for the headlights, at dark... ghost Sonic haunting, bahaha!)

Bought my post-5k protein here
All out tiny towns have little festivals in the summer.. This weekend is ESBONFEST lol.
Took this pic on the way home yesterday in anticipation of fulfilling the challenge today-
New challenge, a piece of local history. Bonus points if its also nationally known like the "World's fastest half-mile dirt track" Belleville Highbanks. Many NASCAR drivers drove here in their early years, and every fair week we host the Midget Nationals. I have friends who run here, and I love working pits for them.

This piece of local history is also a piece of my family history -- Hoag & Sons' Book Bindery was started by my great-great-grandfather.
"Hoag & Sons’ was first known as the Springport Bookbindery, which was established in 1893 in Springport, Michigan by John Ellsworth Hoag. A poultry farmer by trade, Hoag began book binding as a personal hobby and eventually turned it into a profession. Hoag’s son and grandson later took over the business, and changed the name to Hoag and Sons’, Inc. The company bound books, periodicals and newspapers, before eventually focusing on the binding of periodicals and newspapers."
The company was sold in 2003, though my family still owns the building, and the new company owners rented the building until a couple years ago when they moved the business to a new location, leaving the original building. I was there today with my dad, prepping part of the outside for a paint job.
The building has had several additions since the original structure -- the stuff to the left and right that doesn't really look like it matches, lol, is indeed part of the structure:
I doubt it's nationally known for anything, so no bonus points for me
Just so happened there was something interesting across the road from the Bindery... see that little blue building? (Ha! Challenge answer and New Challenge in one pic!)
That is the old railroad depot!
The tracks were torn out long, long ago, but the building is still there, like many other old depots in other villages in the area.
Here are some old pictures I found of it online -- in both pictures it's the small (and slightly obscured) building to the left of the tracks:
So, the challenge is - your Sonic at a "train depot/station" --- could be fully operational, could be defunct with the tracks ripped out!
