Heartbroken
It must have been quite the heartbreak to climb on top of an abandoned building to paint the announcement.

Oh, no!
I am not sure what this guy is worried about, and I hope it’ll all work out for him eventually.

Art Fan/Fan Art
You know, of course, that I like to look around the backs of things. And I also like to look up – ceilings are more interesting than maybe you’d think. This lovely ceiling-plus-skylight-plus-fan was inside an artist’s studio at Houston’s Silo at Sawyer Yards.

Garden Gate, and ruins
More ruins from the Lubbock tornado.
I was in junior high in 1970, and like everyone who lived in Lubbock then, have clear memories of the storm and its impact. My dad, a civil engineer, was one of the people who had immediate access to the heavily damaged portions of downtown, and he took pictures of what it looked like. They are frightening.
We still get big storms in the spring, but never again a tornado like that one.
Here’s a reenactment of the City’s emergency management response the night of the storm. It’s equal parts corny and historic, but watching it makes my memories seem more recent.
