So, a guy leaving this bar invited us to go with him to ANOTHER bar - a titty bar, he explained. A FUCKING titty bar, he further elaborated.
We turned down the invitation.

We had winter today. It will probably be gone by tomorrow.
And that's the way I like to have winter (if you have to have it at all).
The way I look at - if it makes you laugh right out loud in the antique store AND costs less than ten bucks, you must purchase it.
And that is how I came to possess this duck creamer.

So, I am really a dork: every day I print out the blog and put the pages (in chronological order, of course) in a binder.
And then, TAKE A PICTURE and post it.

If you are passing through Brady and want to spend the night, this looks like a pretty nice place, what with the refreigerated air and vented heat and all.

Before it was relocated, the bus station had the most memorable address in all of Lubbock - 1313 13th Street.
That building is for sale, so if you want a cool address call your realtor.

Las Vegas is ridiculous.
You can't tell what's real, what's not, what's just a mirage. (It's easy to tell the Mirage, however: there's a sign. And a volcano, of course.)

Las Vegas is ridiculous.
Everything is busy to the point of being frantic. People at the bus stop tell you all about their other visits here ("Last time, we was staying up by the Stratosphere - all the way up there! - and there was one a them temperature things and it was 104 degrees at midnight. I wouldna believed it but my brother-in-law tole me."*). And, even though conventional wisdom says Las Vegas is on the skids because of the economy, it is still full of people.

* Yep. That's an actual conversation that I tried to avoid being a part of.
Las Vegas is ridiculous.
On the elevator, a hairy guy with his shirt unbuttoned one button too far - to better showcase his gold medallion - asked me if I was going to see the Donny and Marie show while I was in town. He looked very sad when I told him that my schedule would prevent it.
Maybe... it was Donny Osmond?

I like it that the Big Spring book is subtitled The Casual Biography of a Prairie Town. It was written in 1942; my version was signed by the author in 1947. Also, the book jacket tells us that the book "makes no pretence of being a literary masterpiece." And, the author sketches in "pungent" details. No wonder I am afraid to read it.

DONT TAKE STUFF... and don't make me tell you again. Or use an apostrophe.

I like how the word "Victor" and the word "photography" are spaced differently so they take up the same amount of space on the windows. And how the center pane must have been replaced after the words were put up, because the photographer's last name is missing.

Every day for, say, fifteen years, I have seen this church from the freeway on my way to work. Today, I exited one exit early to take its picture.
