The rain comes in just the right amounts and just the right intervals to keep things nice and green. It is a very welcome change!
A few weekends ago my wife and I visited Littlefield. We were not prepared for the dire poverty we found in some neighborhoods. Littlefield must not have building codes or any kind of condemnation procedures. We saw structures that were not much larger than chicken coops, surrounded by rank weeds, wrecked cars, and piles of garbage, with someone apparently trying to live in them. These extreme poverty zones were within a few blocks of very nice affluent neighborhoods. What a crazy mix! Downtown Littlefield is chock full of ruins, too. I didn't even scratch the surface. We didn't see many signs of OIL BOOM prosperity. Littlefield's civic leaders must be fans of Ayn Rand. So I'll begin a little Littlefield photo series. Some of the ruins I could not photograph because they were inhabited!
