Wind/Farm
Along this ridge, south of Sweetwater, there are literally too many wind turbines to count.
(See those crooked white lines that look like giant sutures? Turbines. See what I mean?)

Yes, the (electronic) eye of God watches everyone who enters the church.

Past the tipping point
The thing is that a lot of small towns in this part of Texas are past the tipping point, and there doesn’t appear to be any way to salvage them.

The Import
If you, for some reason, need a giant metal statue for your yard, I can give you directions to this place.

A great deal of confusion
Every time I drive from Lubbock to Austin, I go through the tiny town of Melvin, Texas. Almost the only thing there is an out-of-business store, and it’s been out of business since I can remember. And if you can believe it, with my love of out-of-business businesses, I’d never even stopped to look around.
But last month, I had the opportunity to rectify my error. It was worth the stop – this confusing situation right here, with reflective glass and boarded-up windows, made it worth the brief delay in getting home.
(The place is for sale if you’re interested.)
