We were there for the Oktoberfest, and so had an opportunity for more views of that town.
This white building is abandoned and up for sale. It used to be the Driver's License Office. I remember it well.
Slaton has its share of abandoned buildings but it is prosperous compared to most of the small towns near Lubbock. You can thank the railroad industry for that.
We will be driving through O'Donnell again, but it is not likely we will stop there ever again, having seen as much of the town as there is to see.
Meanwhile, these pictures suffice to occupy this book of pages in the aether, in cyberville, over yonder there...
Ponder this ye mighty: if a GIANT MAN like Hoss Cartwright can be laid low, a man who starred in a movie with Raquel Welch and Frank Sinatra, what hope is there for the rest of us, eh? Eh? What hope is there for O'Donnell? Eh? Eh? These things too shall pass away. And you are not half the man Hoss Cartwright was, especially if you are a girl. I like to think of Dan Blocker as "Hoss". "Hoss" is an archetype. "Hoss" was also pure fiction and in that respect much like John Wayne. Think about it.
The Heritage Museum!
More apparitions! Or, bad photography...
But is there really such a thing as "bad" photography? I tend to think not...
I like to photograph the "things not seen"!
This peculiar stop sign was out in the street, in front of the Heritage Museum. We had not seen one of these before, and it must have been an old time small town thing.
