We Are Almost Done With Spur

Before we found a small house, newly constructed according to the modern pattern, we found what looked like an old, tumbled-down, Bates Motel. 

The stories these walls could tell! We really had no idea what it used to be. An apartment complex?

Whatever it was, once, it is uninhabitable now.

It seemed to have been constructed with no regard whatsoever for anything like habitability, in fact. Basic structural engineering principles seem to have been the farthest thing from the builder's mind. You find this a lot in small towns in Texas, where everybody does as they please with no regard for the common good or even simple physics. Don't you ever try to tyrannize a Texan with talk of a "common good", or about the existence of basic, objective, physical laws-- you are likely to get shot.

Next time, I'll tell you about the one small house we found, and why I did not include a photo, why we passed it over and went on to photograph yet another private junkyard. I will tell you what we think of the small house revolution in Spur.
