Downtown Lubbock Again

I can always find something there.

Why not view the same thing under different aspects?

That's what I usually do anyway.

Finishing The Old Stuff.

By this time it really is old stuff. I'm trying to coax a little interest out of piles of crap and brick walls and weathered doors and windows in downtown Lubbock. Piles of scrap and the like. Also took another look at the Buddy Holly Hall, still under construction. Somebody told me it was way over budget. And now it is not at all clear that it will be possible to use it as intended, thanks to the pandemic. Just goes to show, that human civilization is a house of cards. I'll begin all that next time.

Below, you can see the aftermath of a brief, dusty, rain shower we had months ago. It was more of a mud storm than anything else.

The photo above has not been enhanced or modified in any way. That brown tinge is DUST.

Almost Finished

Yes, running low at last on garden stuff but downtown Lubbock is on the agenda.

Even Less Garden

Soon those pics will be used up. But I scoped out some stuff downtown this morning. 

I'm getting tired of this stuff anyway. And now I'm thinking that I might just undo the entire garden and let the lawn reclaim it. Because it's a lot of work. I made that garden in the first place for my wife to enjoy. She's not here anymore to enjoy it and most of this summer it's been too hot for me to enjoy it, not to mention the mosquitoes. Or, I could undo the expansion she never got to see in full bloom. I almost had it completed the week before she died. I finished it, but now I wish I'd just let it be, let the grass regrow, which would have happened quickly. That might be the best move. I'll have to think about it. 

Using Up These Pics

Maybe I was just too lazy to do anything else.

If that's the case, no apologies.

All I want is to survive this summer. Too hot and too dry for too long. You know what I'd like? The sudden onset of another ice age.
