Flyer Club

One of the surprising things around Lubbock, given its reputation as a place without discernible topography, is the canyon that’s to the east of town. (Here’s more information, and that photo titled Yellowhouse Canyon near Slaton, Texas is exactly the view we’ll have from our future house.)

But I digress.

This is the entrance to a now-defunct radio-controled airplane club. At least, that’s what I’ve heard, fourth or fifth hand. But even if that’s not accurate information (the part about the RC planes, I mean, as I am pretty sure whatever was there isn’t in operation any longer) I like how the sign hangs there in the trees and the little caliche road wanders over the hill.

The warm-up (with ball boy)

A few weeks ago, we had front-row seats to the Texas Tech softball game, and got there early enough to watch the players, and a very small bat boy, warm up.

How to get closer to God

Apparently all it takes is a couple of ladders.

Trash talker

Yep, I went to a parking garage to see what I could see. And I saw a trash can and a sign pointing toward the emergency phone.

Also, some nicely-textured concrete, the light bouncing around the roof joists, and a dusty sky.

Table in the bar, with candle

On Wednesdays my friends and I meet for drinks after work. We usually get the big sofa in the corner, but on this particular Wednesday, it was occupied by someone else.

That wasn’t as bad as I thought: it gave me a not-noticed-before view of this little table.

PS – OF COURSE you’re invited to join us. Maybe today we can reclaim the sofa.
