Inferno (Italian for “Hell”) is the first part of Dante Alighieri’s fourteenth-century epic poem Divine Comedy. It is followed by Purgatorio and Paradiso. It is an allegory telling of the journey of Dante through what is largely the medieval Hell, guided by the Roman poet Virgil. In the poem, Hell is depicted as nine circles of suffering located within the Earth. Allegorically, the Divine Comedy represents the journey of the soul towards God, with the Inferno concept of describing the recognition and rejection of sin.

Old Cannery in Gilroy, California. More job loss for people without skills to find anything else. Not easy finding new slave labor jobs out there and Gilroy is very busy improving its image with a new downtown and home remodels and such. Good looking town on the outside. But don’t look too close!

Abandoned building in Boyes Hot Springs, just outside Sonoma, California. I always wonder who’s behind the windows.
Kirt did this painting of Toon’s in downtown San Jose just after we moving to Sonoma in 2000. It was his way of saying good-bye.
