Lubbock Sights 13

 I would never have imagined, when I took these photos, that things would become so screwed up in the relatively near future. Oh well. Nothing I can do about it. Winter isn't giving up. Cold crap again. No rain no rain no rain. Dry dry dry. 

Lubbock is over-built and over developed, in my opinion. The available water resources won't support a population like this for very long. It can't be done. I hope I'll be gone before this house of cards comes crashing down. And it will. I guarantee it. The only unknown is the precise timeline. You could say the same thing about human civilization. A bang or a whimper? Either way, it goes away.

 Gee, it got kind of cold this morning. I changed my routine a bit so I could stroll down memory lane. Cloudy and windy and cold but above freezing. We had only a  light sprinkle in lieu of desperately needed rain. So it goes. Supposedly it will clear later and warm up a bit. Weather forecasts are largely worthless.

Yes, a dash of color on a gray day.

 Clear skies, warming nicely. but a bit windy today. The early part of next week will be somewhat cold but, as usual, there will be no precipitation of any kind and the drought continues. 

This might be a very dry Spring, and if that is so, we are in bad shape. Really bad shape.

 I get to spend more and more time outdoors, getting more and more accomplished around here. After the weekend a bit of a wintery turn is expected but nothing like the last one. 

These are now more like Lubbock AREA sights. And the photos were taken years ago. By this time I'm sure everything is much improved-- fixed up and painted up and rehabilitated beyond recognition. But I'll never know for sure because I'm not going there again. Never, ever.

 The weather gets better and better. I do more and more work outdoors. Today I completed stage 1 of a small project. I loaded my vehicle with materials and needed accessories and got it done very quickly. It's all in the planning. 

It certainly does help to be STRONG, like BULL! Like OX! Argh.
