Something that has always fascinated and intrigued me is abandoned, run down houses. On a bike ride yesterday I rode by a house I have driven by many times. I noticed a broken window and a curtain flapping outside the window. I rode past it and then turned around dropped my bike and bushwhacked my way to the window. Oh my god! The house was abandoned, there was a "fainting" couch, a desk, an upright piano and papers all over the floors. Right below the window was a magazine from 1990 in Persian. I walked around the house hoping to see more: the bathroom: broken tub, and one pink foam curler on the floor, the bedroom: two beds, mattress on spring frame, and one of the beds was up on the end and papers and clothes all over the floor. I tried to get around further but I heard a noise and the bushes were so tall I couldn't get around. Next time I will bring my clippers. More bike rides to come and hopefully more houses to wonder about why the people left all their items and where they are now.

Apparently the magazine seen has "jihad" or "holy war" written on it in red, what the?
