... using a route familiar to us. In the future we will take a different route and feature other parts of town.
As I post these pics, early primary voting is taking place in Lubbock. I expect Ted Cruz to do very well on the Republican side-- that sort of malignant, self-righteous, prick would have huge appeal among local conservatives. And Lubbock is very, very, conservative. Why, candidates for local offices brag about their low IQ's and their absolute ignorance of science, math, and history. "Why, I'm so dumb, I kin barely locate my ass with both hands-- you need to vote for ME!" And so on. Election season makes me want to puke. The most craven vipers on the planet vie with each other to lead the ignorant and lazy to war and ruin, for the benefit of a ruthless and greedy minority. The process is riddled with fraud and deceit. Corruption is rampant. Welcome to Amerika. For that matter, welcome to the human race. Whoops. I need to be more positive. Let's delight in the beauties of Lubbock, Texas!
On the other hand, if you are the sort of person who likes a good freak show, election season in the USA is the sort of spectacle you would find amusing.
Important to keep in mind, this is not a drive-by. We have those in certain parts of town, under certain unfortunate circumstances.
We are out by the airport.
We have arrived at the Water Treatment Plant. Security is very high! It looks like a maximum security prison, and it probably feels like one if you work there. I'm glad I don't work there anymore. I served my time.
My ever patient wife was kind enough to take me for a little drive around town while I played the part of shutterbug. Random shots. This and that. Lubbock here and there.
If parts of the car get in the way, I really don't care. If something, anything, appears in the photo then I am happy.
These are all commonly seen things, here in Lubbock.
Lots more still to come!
Finally I get around to posting pics I took around our house on the morning after the big snow of 2015. Our lives were disrupted for about a week. Too much snow. For us, any snow is too much snow. We don't like snow. We don't like winter. For a while, in December last year, there was too much winter in these parts.
We continued to feed the birds...
About three feet of snow covered the wildflower garden.
Nobody was going anywhere for a few days... eventually I shoveled our driveway. Fortunately, it warmed up again relatively quickly. But in some places we had mounds of snow for several weeks.
