Just two visitors.
Visiting the VA Cemetery in San Bruno, CA yesterday, there was but one other there.
Meanwhile, you couldn’t get a parking space at the shopping mall across the street ….

Why do I smell government at work here?
It’s not like only modern architects and builders have the sole franchise on boo-boos:

Now what kind of twit would do a thing like that to a beautiful facade?
Could it be because the building belongs to the local government here in Paso Robles, CA?
Maybe the person doing this was concerned about a Window Tax – something which wouldn’t surprise me given the composition of our local government here and its greed for tax revenues. But wait a minute, no government would tax itself, right? And how could all that material and labor cost be cheaper than a pane of glass?
Eureka! I get it now. The bricklayer was the mayor’s brother!
