Contrast

Another view of the aftermath of the explosion, contrasting with the shiny new silos across the street.

Far Flung

The force of the silo explosion hurled silo pieces clear of the building, which would have been something I wish I’d seen* as it happened.

*From a safe distance, of course.

At some point lately, there was an explosion and fire at this silo, and it looks like a constellation on the far side of the blown-out tower. (Or maybe that’s just me…)

Empty Volume

Prior to 2009, people in Lubbock had to drive outside the city limits to buy booze. There were some big liquor stores out there, but now they’ve all closed (or moved into town), since we can buy our booze right in town like normal people. Some of those places have turned into other businesses now, but this one is still available, if you’re interested.
