Zombie Holly

Lubbock, Buddy Holly’s hometown, is getting a fancy new performing arts center. I was there last week for a tour and saw this, uh, portrait of Buddy drawn on some gyp board. I decided to name it Zombie Holly.

And, when the facility opens later this year, I am going to have fun looking at the donors’ wall knowing that Zombie Buddy is under there….

Many Skeletons

A sign of changing times: this particular scene, full of abandoned stuff, is repeated over and over again across Texas high plains farms.

Recreations and Marinas

In the winter, the marina doesn’t have a single thing going on.

The summer may not be that different, actually, because this lake is currently at only 20% capacity. (But that’s almost double the level of its neighbor Lake Mackenzie.)

Well?

Well. Well?

All I know is that if you walk through this culvert you’ll come out on the other side and still be in the city park. In other words, I don’t know anything that’s of particular interest here.

Winter pool

Here’s the town swimming pool, a couple of days after Christmas. Evidently the lifeguards get different jobs in the winter months.
