ABC Wednesday – “Q” is for ….

Q’s are really hard. I guess questions are Q’s but I don’t know how to take a picture of a question.

I finally found a Q last month in San Antonio. On the northern reaches of the Rivewalk way beyond the fancy hotels and cheesy restaurants, art museums, and expensive condo’s and where only homeless people, runners, geocachers, very lost tourists (I find some, or they found me, should have seen the look on their face when I told them that they had a two mile walk to the Alamo) and the park police roam I found a Quonset hut. I finally found a Q! I hope that you like it. I worked hard for it.

The tourists I found were not impressed. I told them, “Well if you don’t want to walk all the way to the Alamo, there is Quonset hut around the bend.”

“Or you can go geocaching with me.”  They walked away acting like I was the strange one. At least I knew where I was, and everything there was to do. 

Wikipedia says that Quonset Huts were developed by the Navy during World War II for use as cheap, easily assembled buildings. The military built about 150,000 or so during the war and sold many of them to the public. They were first fabricated at Quonset Point in Rhode Island.
