Over at Shorty’s place
Check out those window’s at Shorty’s! It’s plywood! Let’s just go ahead and add this to the plywood collection that already includes Anton, Snyder, Plainview, and Snyder again.
And if you want to know more about plywood, or nearly any other building material, I’d recommend that you read The Walls Around Us, by David Owen. It’s really not as boring as it sounds. (You can learn about plywood on pages 59-64, a page count which may weaken my not-as-boring-as-it-sounds argument.)

Synonymous
Rectangles:
A plethora.
A glut.
An excess.
A surfeit.
A profusion.
An overabundance.
A surplus.

Four windows
They started out the same, these four windows. The same size, and age, and all that. But look at them now, all weathering in a different way. I’ve mentioned before that I am not a fan of symmetry: it was asymmetry of this that caught my eye. I like it, and I like the way it seems to defy the original, symmetrical window installation.

High and Dry show at Texas Tech University
I am honored announce that this photo has been selected in the annual High and Dry show at Texas Tech University.
This year’s juror was David Michael Kennedy. Go have a look at his website – every single image is wonderful.
The show’s opening reception will be on Friday evening, December 6, at the International Cultural Center. Stop by, if you’re in the neighborhood. And if you’re not in the neighborhood, there’s plenty of time to plan a trip….

The bypass did
The highway used to go through town. But now there’s a bypass and all the traffic heading south toward Lamesa or San Angelo or north to Lubbock just goes right by, at 75 miles per hour. At the very north end of town, and almost literally in the shadow of the first bypass overpass, an abandoned restaurant has spent the past couple of decades trying to fade away.
It hasn’t. Yet. But I feel like it will eventually be successful in that endeavor.
