Not by a long shot...
Truly, this is Abernathy!
You can come up with a long list of "places", like Tulia, Friona, Possum Kingdom, and on and on, but THIS place, the place you see in this photo series, is Abernathy, and no other place.
For some reason, when you take pictures of this place, it looks a lot more colorful than it does to the naked eye... heh, heh.
And what about those stark, sharp, shadows? It's amazing what the camera lens will reveal.
It's just that we found a lot to photograph in Abernathy.
Abernathy is dead still on a Sunday afternoon. Except for the Dairy Queen, nothing was open. We ate at that Dairy Queen. We really wanted a mom & pop style local eatery, and there is one, but it's not open Sunday.
If Abernathy decided to prosper by catering to the adult trade, with sexy books, magazines, videos, toys, strip joints and all the other things so dear to the hearts of good old boys, we would have to rename it Abernasty. Just a joke, son.
Probably though, that's the only way Abernathy would ever get REALLY prosperous...
Or, "Exposing Abernathy"...
Note the satellite dish on this recently abandoned, derelict house.
Abernathy is so close to Lubbock, that, if you have transportation, you can escape for a few hours and decompress. Living in Abernathy might not be so bad if you like peace and quiet, but I could be wrong. Some of these little towns are deceptive. At any rate, we are not done with Abernathy.
Truly, this is Abernathy!
