More Parking Lot Commentary

Posted on October 5, 2025 by mohawkvalleygirl

Here are the last of the senior parking spaces from Herkimer Junior Senior High School.  I have not walked or run by them recently but may tomorrow.  I know, I could only wait till then and use these as part of a Running Commentary post.  However, I cannot count on myself to either run or comment.  OK, I can usually be counted upon to comment.  As you see.

Class president with a dog and a Bob Marley quote. Nice!

“Love the life you have; live the life you love.”  -Bob Marley.  I’ll have to put that on my to-do list.

Now this one is minimalist.

Just the essentials from Logan, I guess.

Who knew, when she was just a kindergartner?

My 12 years in school did not seem to fly by, but the years certainly are careening along now.

I do like the white on black.

Is that Sponge Bob?  I don’t recognize him when he is not in color.  Anyways, he is past my time.  I am Bugs Bunny generation.

I suppose those count as “comments from the Peanut Gallery.”  That used to be a big saying, “And no comments from the Peanut Gallery!”  meaning you didn’t want anybody to say anything.  I think the Peanut Gallery was on the Howdy Doody Show, but that was before my time.  That’s me, somewhere between Howdy Doody and Sponge Bob.  It’s better than a rock and a hard place!

I Practice Art Interpretation

Posted on October 2, 2025 by mohawkvalleygirl

I just realized I had not shared all the senior parking space art at Herkimer Junior Senior High School.  As I frantically type prior to going out to breakfast with friends (preview of coming attractions), I will repair the omission, at least in part.

I can identify!

I loved that movie Clueless!  What year did it come out?  Too lazy to look it up, and perhaps this senior is not referring to that at all.  I am SO not up on current pop culture (it’s probably not even referred to as pop culture any more).

Oh, I get it!

At first I thought this was just minimalist, then I saw it is a pencil!  Clever!  Unless it is something totally else and I am silly, not uncommon for me, as regular readers know.  I am seeing a theme here of me having no faith in my ability to interpret art.

Pretty!

What’s not to like about this one?  My intent was to share three pictures, but I see I am well under my self-imposed minimum of 200 words.  A minimalist blog? Once I was accused of having Minimalist Monday, because I posted on Facebook:  “Long story, not very interesting.”

It is interesting to me how the words add up, because that little bit of nonsense put me over the top.  Good thing, because it is not Monday, and I am no minimalist (although I used to wear mini skirts) (I would imagine I still could; I have a pretty good set of gams, I can say without overly flattering myself) (preview of coming attractions?)

In any case, I thank my readers for tuning in.

Late Post, More Art

Posted on September 23, 2025 by mohawkvalleygirl

After falling down on my daily blogging ambitions once again, I try to pick things up with a few more examples of parking lot artwork by Herkimer High School Seniors.  I ran by the art on once of my morning runs recently, a great addition of something fun to look at while I thunk along.

Who doesn’t love Spiderman?

This is a good one for me to run by, because for the next mile or so the Spiderman theme song plays in my head.  Yes, I know all the words.

Kitty is nice, too.

This is another one I wish I had gotten a better shot of.  Well, local readers are encouraged to take a walk down and check these out for themselves.  They are even better in person.

Is he surrendering? Or part of a wave?

I’m not sure who this fellow is, because I am not up on current popular characters.  Perhaps it is an invention of the senior who painted it.  That would be cool.

I like the lettering.

I do four instead of my usual three pictures, and I still have some left for future posts.  Which I hope to make in a timely fashion and stop missing days.  As always, I hope you’ll stay tuned.
