October 7


















If you need something to do, here's a suggestion.  Start in Lubbock, and take highway 114 west.  Just past the county line, on the north side of the road there's a junk store.  (It's in the community of Hurlwood, if you want to spot it on a map or Google Earth or something.)

Anyway, the junk store has all kinds of junk - in fact, it may have the very best selection of junk in all of Hockley County.  Stop and take a look around.  You'll be amazed.  There are old signs (like the one in the photograph) and poles and posts and more miscellaneous crap than you could ever hope to see in one place.

Route guidance (correct as of earlier this afternoon):  there is a 1975 New Holland combine out in front.  It'll be the only 1975 New Holland combine along this particular stretch of road.  That's how you know you are at the right place.  Unless someone bought the combine; the price seemed pretty reasonable to me ($2500), but what do I know about combines?*

*  Very little.  The sign that said "1975 New Holland combine, $2500" was actually quite educational.
