Minivan!

Check out the minivan! It’s right next to Danceland.
UPDATE: Ever since I posted my minivan photo, my inbox has been going crazy (with emails). Everyone wants to know about the minivan. What’s its name? When did I get it? Is it male or female? So here we go.
Minivan FAQ
1. Hey, sweet minivan!
Thanks, but it’s not mine.
2. What? But you implied -
No.
3. Then I don’t care about that minivan.
That makes sense. I don’t even know what it’s doing in the photo.
4. It kind of ruins the image.
Tell me about it. I thought that it would serve as the punctum to Danceland’s studium, but it just looks like a minivan photobomb.
5. Where were you, even?
I was at Danceland in the resort village of Manitou Beach. February. Off-season.
6. And there’s a dance hall there?
Yup. It’s one of the few left in the world with a floating floor on a bed of horsetail hair. Really.
7. Huh.
But I think the van’s female.

That is funny because I had a form of synesthesia as a child where I thought that numbers had genders. I had no idea this was synesthesia. But I also saw such intense faces in the grills of cars. And everywhere, actually. Any abstract pattern of any kind. So I had very strong feelings about gender, numbers and cars.
In no way do I mean to imply that I am offended by this post as a result of my childhood weirdness. Just that you are inadvertently reaching into some very deep places. (Not really-sort of.)
Also, cool photo.
