Lamesa

When we returned to Lubbock from New Braunfels we stopped at the only McDonalds in Lamesa. Right across the street is/was a local monument-- been there for years and years. I finally got a couple of pictures and then shortly afterward learned that the old Cadillac on the roof is gone, purchased at an undisclosed price for restoration.  I hope to someday see it in restored form. I'll miss it. I've been driving through Lamesa for many years and have always seen it, up on the roof of that old building with the tall, brick, smokestack. What WAS that building anyway? A power plant? A factory?

Meanwhile, the towns of Tahoka and Seagraves have been hard hit by flooding. Seagraves is a town we have not yet visited. And we'll have to wait for the flood waters to subside before we do go there. Just about the whole town is under water.
