Loose Parts by Dave Blazek for July 31, 2023

And on the marquee “De Sade.”

Schadenfreude County, right between Weltschmerz and Zeitgeist Counties.

Looks like Florida to me.

Muir Woods near San Francisco is so overcrowded that their website actually encouraged you to visit other parks to see the redwoods.

Once I asked a local, “I am new in town, can you tell me how to get to city hall?” He responded with, “Well, you go down this road to where the old Baptist Church used to be.”

Another time, I asked an old-timer, “Have you lived here all your life?” The response was, “Not yet.”

Isn’t Schadenfreude the last letter in GPS?

“What is the closest English word to schadenfreude?epicaricacyBut there is a one-word English equivalent. It is “epicaricacy” which means rejoicing at, taking fun in, or getting pleasure from the misfortune of others.”I feel like making a sign or signs for a few homes and one ‘church’.

Judging by road signage, I think it must be in New Jersey.

The perfect tourist guide for towns that just want to be left alone.
