More Spur, Texas

We are still looking at things I found within easy walking distance of the little diner. Remember, Spur's current claim to fame is that it claims to be at or near the center of the small house revolution in America. Wow. I'll have something to say about that later. We searched and searched for small houses. We thought there would be a tract of them. We thought the little dickens (but wait, Dickens is another town) would be all over. No. Not exactly. 





We think it is safe to say that Spur is in need of some repair.

We Are Going To Spur!

We're all going to Spur! AGH! But not in a handbucket. And Spur is nothing to fear. Spur features small houses, and that is why we went there, not abandoning all hope, but in search of small houses. We found a small house, alright, and kind of got our eyes opened. I'll explain that when we come it it, and also explain why I have no pictures of small houses. But first, let's look at a full moon over Lubbock.



It was cloudy, so this is the moon seen through rapidly shifting clouds. 





We left just before lunch on a Saturday and by the time we got to Spur we were hungry. We found a small Mom and Pop type diner-- I think it was called the Drive-By, and we had excellent tacos there, at a very low price. The layout was interesting, in that one entrance took you to a smoking side, and another entrance down the street took you to the non-smoking side. And a middle entrance took you to the restroom. We found things to photograph near the diner. That's what you see above.

I Have Many New Pics!

Yes, I have lots of new pics. I merely need to find the time to process them all, and resize them, and then get on with the process of posting them. We found new things to photograph in Spur, and we did a travel log of East 4th Street, out to Acuff and the Acuff Steakhouse! We got pics going and coming!

Let Us Finish That Tour Of Lubbock

We began our tour, our actual picture-taking journey, before the snow fell late last year! I think. One day flows into another for us and we like it like that. We like routine and we are pleased to have no urgent or time-sensitive events in our lives. In our past lives we have been rushed and hurried and on tight schedules and have multi-tasked (ugh). Never again. Enough. No more of that! So all I know is that I started this sometime in the past, who knows when, exactly. I don't CARE when, exactly. I don't HAVE to care.




AHHHHH! Don't talk to us about schedules. We don't do schedules.




What a miracle! You can go here! You can go there! Crisscrossing overpasses! Ages and ages of human toil have certainly all been worth it!




Green means stop, red means go, or something like that. In Lubbock there are differences of opinion on this issue. 



And now we are done. We need to take some more pictures.

We Continue To Ramble Around Lubbock

If you were here, you could see these things too! Then again, you might not want to-- be here or see any of this.




But I make it easy, with this blog.




The stuff we feature here is the ordinary stuff never gets any attention, most of the time.




But it is all Lubbock.
