Another Sunday morning
The 2000 census reported a population of 88; the 2010 census plead ignorance on the matter. The day I stopped, there was a steady thrum of highway noise, but I was the only one who pulled off Interstate 20 to look around. After all, it’s only thirty more miles to Abilene.
Other than this building – which is quite lovely, if you ask me – the only other notable thing about the place is that Larry L. King, author of Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, is a native son.

What happened here?
Two things, really.
First of all, it seemed like if the very reason I made a u-turn across a highway to take a picture was because this old place had a red desk in front of it, then I just had to post it in color.
And, that it happened to fall on April Fool’s day was just a happy coincidence.
But please don’t worry: back to b&w tomorrow. And sorry if I startled you.

Toilet. Seat.
I have the perfect job (my real job, I mean – the one with a paycheck) which enables me to travel to various small towns across the Texas high plains to visit our agency’s offices. And, every now and then, take a few photographs.
This visit was exceptional; in this town, our agency leases the ground floor of an old building. After our real work was done, we explored the vacant second floor of the building.
Good thing I had my camera with me that day….

There are a lot of questions here.
In contrast to yesterday’s post, at least this signage is legible. But that doesn’t necessarily make it understandable.
Am I right?

I have no idea
There is a lot of information on the front of this place. Unfortunately, I have no idea what any of it says.
All I can say with any certainity is that it is roughly halfway between here and here but all the way across town from here.
