Still Living In The Past

 It's the best place to be right now. Winter wonderland time in Lubbock. First order of business this morning was checking on the animals and feeding them. Water is no problem. Nice to see the terrorists getting arrested, losing their jobs, facing fines and criminal charges. The Orange Asshole will end his days in an orange jumpsuit. Or maybe in a psychiatric hospital. There aren't enough high security prisons to hold his minions, but Gitmo is still open... you could liken the trump cult to a bunch of lemmings with suicide vests. Please, guzzle down the cyanide laced punch and get it over with. Remember, suicide is painless, and it brings on many changes...

Meanwhile, I just want to live in the past, before the twin plagues, the one that began in 2016, and the one that followed, in 2020. 

It's interesting that both plaques seem to be associated with brain damage.

A Closer Look At Where I've Been

 One of Peter Straub's characters says something profound, and this is a paraphrase: "There really is another world. It's this one." How do you see that other world? Look very closely at this one.

I think that's what I've been trying to do with my poor photographic efforts: find that other world.

So, for a time, I'll be taking these closer looks. 

Rambling Through The Past

 Meanwhile, we can hope and pray that this country will be at last purged and cleansed of its feeble-minded racist trash. There are some indications that the Orange Asshole is preparing to flee the country. It would be better to see that malignant piece of shit face justice, but as long as IT is gone...

Ahhh, random images from the lost days of yore, before the rise of madness!

Maybe we could add antipsychotic meds to the public water supplies in tRump country?

For that matter, so is everyone who still supports him. Unless of course they are batshit crazy. In that case they are simply mentally incompetent, and unable to commit a crime, by reason of insanity.

Lubbock

 But Austin is probably the best place to live in Texas. Yes, the legislature is pretty much a shithole, and rural and small town Texas is pretty much a backward shithole, cities like Lubbock and Amarillo are infested with right wing lunatics, but Austin is what all of Texas should be: progressive. Liberal. Diverse. Smart. For the most part. Lubbock does have some good qualities. It isn't all bad. If it was ALL bad I'd move to Austin.

After, this there will be an extended period of wandering around in Memory Lane. Taking a close look at where I've been.

More Life In The Boonies

 Some people call it the sticks. Is it in the sticks where the hicks live?

Some of this area is kind of bleak.

When I finish this stuff I'll be reexamining things and places from the past but in greater detail. That's just another way of saying crop zooms.
