Downtown Lubbock #3

What a great place!







I was hoping to find a pile of crap, of which I could say, "Wow! That looks just like Trump's America!" I couldn't find a pile of crap that looked crappy enough. Maybe next time.







Here's a little song fer yew: The Trumptown Stomp


Oh, we're all livin' in trumptown,
and we're all comin' down!
With the Cooovid!
With the Coooovid!
Oh, we're all gonna croak in trumptown,
with the Cooovid!
with the Cooovid!
Yeee Haaaa!
Sing it fellers!

Downtown Lubbock #2

Something like 500,000 covid cases in Texas? Numbers still going up? Red states getting hit hard? Is that any surprise? I suspect we've seen nothing yet. Still too many stupid people running around pretending there's no problem. MAYBE there will be a cure or a treatment or a vaccine for COVID. Never will there be a cure for stupid. And that's a cure the world needs desperately. Without a cure for stupid, extinction is a certainty.






There really are Darwin awards. Sometimes an entire species is the "winner". In the case of Homo Sapiens there is not enough sanity in conjunction with intellect to go around. A fatal defect, most likely.






I'm trying to get as much as I can out of the last batch of pics, trying this and trying that.

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.

Almost Finished

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