@voydesveladA El riesgo siempre es mejor que el arrepentimiento

domingo

I know not how I came of you, and I know not where I go with you . . . . but I know I came well and shall go well.

@fularaedwyrd @laurenhtexas I bet you wouldn’t last a day in the oilfield chief.

@laurenhtexas Any self-respecting Texan (who isn't like, you know, gay) is gonna add some bacon or sausage. Meat makes it a complete meal. 🌮

I can only assume someone from like Connecticut runs this account because potato egg and cheese is a totally normal breakfast taco order, vegetarianism not required

@laurenhtexas Wait-there are people against Pap smears now?

100%. All these liberal women parroting anti-birth control, anti-pap smear, have even seen anti-tampon don't get how dangerous this rhetoric is. Esp in an era where we're actively losing repro rights (in the US) - we've already lost Roe and mifepristone could be banned soon!!

Rest area on I-10 near Van Horn. Texas does public service amazingly well when it wants to.

@voydesveladA Ahora tenemos Oxxo en Texas. Poco a poco, están conquistando el mundo.

por cada oxxo hay tres oxxos… y ninguno quiere hacer retiros

Same reason we pay for roads that only some of us drive on, schools only some of us attend, and hospitals only some of us are treated at. Because our society is better when no one is left to starve to death.

Van Gogh used color to express feeling rather than visual fact. "Instead of trying to reproduce what I see,' he wrote, 'I use color more arbitrarily to express myself. #artbots #vangogh

@HOLLYandherEGO There’s a lot of joy and love and beauty in the world and I’m here for it

Are there any happy people left on the timeline? Everything feels heavy—so much sadness, grief, and struggle. This can’t be the life we once imagined for ourselves as kids.

Tenets of an Old, Itinerant Texas Road Photographer (me) 1) Always stop to photograph old service stations, restored or not. 2) Always stop to photograph longhorns and, especially, roadrunners. Roadrunners portend good things. 3) The time to take the photograph is when you see the photograph. Don't assume you'll go back and find it some other time. Turn around RIGHT THEN, go back, and take the photograph, even if you have to hurdle across four lanes of traffic and take out a traffic cone or two to do so. Okay ... so I'm kidding about that last part. Sort of. 4) There are good photos to be taken in every town in Texas but they are not always apparent at first. Sometimes it pays to park on the side of the gas station and make yourself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, relax, and look around kind of sideways at things. 5) When somebody says something like "this probably wouldn't interest you," invariably, what they say next is of tremendous interest. "What's that? You say you have a bank vault door that Bonnie and Clyde walked through in your barn and you're about to install it as the door to your man cave?" 6) It's always about the sky. 7) Bluebonnets have been so done to death that not every bluebonnet vista makes for a good photograph. It is hard to resist their siren call, however, when you see them on the side of the road. They suck your vehicle over to the shoulder and cause you to slow down so violently that the driver behind you curses you. And careful where you trundle! There are rattlesnakes and chiggers out there. 8) Any person named Russ, Russell, or Kenny is inherently trustworthy, the exception being if they do not drink coffee. Also, as an aside, I have had similarly good experiences with every Betsy I have ever met. 9) Slow down. It's hard enough to really SEE Texas on foot, let alone at 60 mph. Pray for forbearance from the drivers behind you. Because, as a great Texas barroom sophist once said, "the road is long and the road is narrow but all God's children gots to pass." 10) Don't let traffic get you down. It's a necessary evil, the plaque in the arteries that gets you where you think you need to be. Be a placid Buddha. Put on that Willie Nelson "Teatro" CD and ... flow. 11) It's hard to take a bad photo of an old barn and especially of an old corral, but be alert to hidden patterns and revelations while traipsing about them ----- and to rusty nails, too. 12) People who work in Dairy Queens often cannot answer the simplest question about their town. I'm sorry, but it's true. Fortunately, there is almost always some sympathetic soul wearing a beat-up John Deere hat who will say, "Oh, the old Stewart cemetery is down 3rd street. Just take 3rd street straight west out of town and it'll be about two miles on your left." 13) McDonalds actually makes decent coffee, and there are times when the sight of brightly-lit Donut Palace against a softly-illuminated morning sky has been enough to make me weep. 14) That 200 mile stretch from Dallas to Austin feels like 450 miles. You die 1000 tiny deaths on that piece of I-35. Particularly late at night, when it becomes a twisted, torturous odyssey, and not in a good way. 15) Texans are just about the nicest people on earth and will help you every chance they get. More later, as they occur to me. From @TracesofTexas Shown here: One of my own photos. Bluebonnets, tree and sky east of Temple in April, 2010.
