Tonight I am in Lubbock. And tomorrow night I leave Lubbock. I won't be home until near midnight, so do not look for me.
I'm up here visiting Texas Tech University, a pretty darn good school pretty darn near as far away from the rest of the world as possible. Sort of a reminder of how spread out we are once you pass west of the Mississippi. Fortunately, I haven't had to go to El Paso yet for work, but I might one day. And when I do, I might see about going to Ft. Davis or something you hear about in Texas, but you kind of have to really want to do.
This time to Lubbock I flew rather than drive my own car. I had believed the Lubbock airport took turbo props from Dallas, but learned en route from SF a couple weeks back that jets come here. It wasn't a 737, and I forgot to look to see what carried me here, but I'll look on the way back. It sure beats the 8 hour drive.
Anyhow, limited blogging for several days. I'm sure you'll all get along just fine.

As we used to say at TTU, "It's not hell, but you can smell it from here."
ReplyDeleteI'll be headed up there myself in a few weeks.
