to die, to sleep
Maybe you’re used to random music lyrics (usually something from Bruce Cockburn), so this is new – a Shakespeare quote:
To die, to sleep
-“Hamlet”
But the sight of this very sketchy mattress in an abandoned building that was behind another abandoned building – and I’m not even going to talk about that pentagram painted on the wall – definitely brought the word “die” to mind. And from there, it was a short leap to Hamlet.

It was just a matter of time
With various dollar stores all over the place, it was just a matter of time until two of them ended up as shopping center neighbors.
I sort of imagine the two store managers standing in the parking lot hurling insults at each other and was a little sad that was not happening when I was there…

Varied Menu Options
If you can get to town before this place closes (we didn’t make it because *someone* had to stop too many times to make photos), there is a wide variety of menu options to choose from. I would have probably ordered up a snow cone to go with my steak – I’ll have to leave Lubbock earlier the next time, I guess.

Sometimes the way will be blocked
A tiny shrine, with believers held at bay with a rope: a reminder that sometimes our way will be blocked.
