Well Howdy. I'm originally from Lubbock, but I left Texas when I was still a kid, and I've only been back for visiting. Can't say as I miss that area much. Land is flatter than the ocean, full of cotton fields and old abandoned feedlots from a different era. Now most of it is just plain dirt poor. Lots of good folks around there, lots of religion, no whiskey (Lubbock County is dry by ordinance). It was fun as a kid, mostly cuz of Grandad, but he past away in 92, and I've got no reason to go back there now.
