drive-by
The highway heading south out of Lubbock (it has a number* but we call it the Tahoka Highway, but only because that’s the next town) has a lot of seasonal fireworks stands. At this particular one, I guess someone couldn’t wait ONE MORE SECOND to light up some sparklers.

*My brain refuses to complicate things by learning highway numbers; it would very much prefer to know the names of the towns a particular highway goes through. That led to many circular conversations with my father-in-law that went this way:
FIL: What road did you take? 86? 239?
Me: I don’t know. Tell me some towns I would have gone through…
FIL: So, then 44, maybe?
Me:
We each thought the other one was ridiculous, and in a rare agreement, we were both right.

Cool sparkler drive by! I know a few highway numbers like 114 and 82 and 1585, but mostly just say a town’s name and I know how to get there on what road. 🙂

Thanks!
I’m glad to know I am not the only person who navigates by towns instead of numbers! (I also know 1585 because that’s the way I drive from Lubbock to Levelland, where I work. And I know 114 because that’s the road I take home from work. And, not to like brag or anything, I know I27!!)
