People say: idle curiosity. The one thing curiosity cannot be is idle.

- - - - -I almost missed this. We were driving home and Leslie pointed it out. I had my camera in my lap and because she was driving, I was able to quickly turn and take this photo. It's not perfect, but that's one of the things that makes it interesting.
This is a photo that asks questions. What does the F in F-Mart stand for? This was not a place "in town" so what did they mean when they put on the sign, "Best Hot Dogs in Town!"? Why did the F-Mart start publicizing their hotdogs to begin with? Who owns this place? Who stops there?
I want to go back there and go inside. I want to have one of the hotdogs. I want to see who is there, who works there. I want to listen to what they are talking about.
That said, this also looks like a place that might tell me to get the F out if I hung around taking pictures and writing notes all day.
Perhaps I just solved one of the mysteries of this photo.
