Could be a warning of a space-time discontinuity where one might fall out of our reality.

Could that be a good thing?

Possibly,

If you saw it coming.

If you landed somewhere..............better.

And speaking of "landing somewhere," after I croak, someday, there are three things I'd like to hear said to me, if I get to "wake up" and "hear" anything at all. They are:
Welcome.
Say hello to My Son.
Your family is waiting for you right over there.

They are:

Sign here.
Please hold/wait.
Where's your paperwork?

I didn't see it earlier, but it says "Deep Shafts" in the lower left corner. What would that be from?

OOOhhhhh, so where is that car headed, ostensibly, Hellhole, USA?

Nope! Car is headed for Coober Pedy.

Opals!

Opals!

You got it.

Opal mining is conducted blindly — a miner may know the general location of an opal deposit (like the area around Coober Pedy), but there are no advanced techniques for narrowing down the location, since the opals are hidden within similarly structured but worthless rock. There are far more holes (~200,000) around Coober Pedy than there are operating mines.





Coober Pedy is renowned for its below-ground residences, called "dugouts".


Every once in a while unexpected guests drop in.

I'm pretty sure I was in a bar like that in Paris, on the Left Bank (or was that the Latin Quarter?) back in the late 60's. Yup. But it didn't seem that clean.
