A need remains unfulfilled
So many questions here, and no apparent answers.

I’m going to be away for the next week and a half; I’ll be happy to respond to your comments when I get back!
98
Here’s a close-up from the same spot as yesterday’s post; somebody left their Oldsmobile 98 here, presumably for safekeeping. That might not have worked out quite like they’d planned.

What passes for a forest
Don’t laugh, if you’re from somewhere that’s got actual trees.
Around here, this would be considered a wooded area.
Some day, I’ll explain our concept of “wetlands.”

Jalousie
This was my first visit to Kress, Texas, even though I’d driven past it hundreds of times, which just goes to show what having a camera in your hand will lead you to do! Like drive a mile off the Interstate to make photos.
Anyway, I found a fantastic abandoned gas station. The glass was long-gone, of course, but the frames from the original jalousie windows were still there.

Not too much service any more
Just another one of the many abandoned service stations in shrinking towns on the Plains.
On an important historical note, the most expensive pig ever sold was owned by a Hermleigh resident. Jefferey Roemisch of Hermleigh sold his cross-breed barrow* named “Bud” for a record breaking $56,000 in 1983 to a man named Bud Olson and his partner, Phil Bonzio. I thought you’d want to know.

* Were you wondering what a “barrow” is? Yes, I thought you were.
