We are fixing to leave Lubbock for OK City this morning. Another day of driving in the rain. We’ve had every kind of weather on this trip, but seem to have settled into cold and dreary for the last half. Another city crossed off the list – the possible places to retire list! At least in Oklahoma they know how to manage expectations.

We are huge fans of AirBnb but I have to admit this one wasn’t up to usual standards. It could have been the mouse the first night, it could have been the light switch in the shower, or the iffy neighborhood it was in. Still, it’s always an adventure and that’s the way we like it.

We decided we should hit the grocery store to buy some staples because who knows what the future holds at this point. Apparently everyone else in Lubbock had the same idea so we and few thousand of our closest friends all crammed into Market Street in the hopes of stocking up just in case. Other than that, the college town has felt empty with the students gone.

A prairie dog in prairie dog town. As my cousin (once removed) would say, thems good shooting!

Only in Texas. Still unanswered, is someone on a bike a pedestrian?

Just what do the other 6940 ordinances cover? And is diving OK? How about if you’re sitting on a horse that’s swimming?

Adventures in poor design. Yes Virginia, the bathroom light switch really is in the shower.

As seen in Dallas AirBnB. The better half and I agree if it were our sign there would be an asterisk with a small list of exceptions.
