Abernathy Continues

There's so much to do in Abernathy! So much to see!




It's all a matter of perspective, and of proportion.
 It's a SKYCHUTE! And in Abernathy they have more than one. Wow. Just wow.



Never before have I seen a drain pipe quite like this. More wow.

Lots Of Abernathy Left

And that's a GOOD thing! Abernathy! Run away, Antelopes! Run away!

Abernathy, Texas: Scenic Vistas

Oh, yes, more of the sights to be found there. If I'm not mistaken, Abernathy is one of many towns in this area where "public dancing" is considered a crime and can get you thrown in jail. Used to be a music festival there, many years ago, but they would warn everybody attending not to try dancing to the music because it could bring down the law. 








After Abernathy, we'll move on to a toxic dump near the Lubbock International Airport. It's a dump, for sure, and I assume that it's toxic because of the sickish, sweetish, solvent odor we encountered there. We should probably have worn hazmat suits. And yet, this area is unfenced and unposted, and open to the public.

Alleys Are More Interesting Than Streets

And that is certainly true of Abernathy.








I missed yesterday's update due to computer problems but I seem to have that issue sorted out, for now.

Returning To Abernathy

Seems like there's a lot of abstract expressionism going on, every place we visit. Strange. Abernathy is no exception...




And I thought Mark Rothko was dead. Seems he, and his ilk, got around...
