We are back this week after the hiatus from the Memorial Day three day weekend which only means one thing. A lot of mugshots and things you missed. If you haven't been living in Texas the past two weeks then you might be in Seattle but lately with all the rain it's hard to tell the difference between the two. That's right we have had tons of rain just hitting Texas and hopefully bringing in lots of crops this fall. One downside is all the flooding that's been happening in cities and rural areas. Don't worry though, if you live in Texas then you could take advantage of the situation and start collecting your own rainwater. It's perfectly legal and encouraged in Texas.

I cannot say enough good things about this. The old Lubbock Farmer's Market was located on 19th and Buddy Holly. It had lots of adjacent parking and a wonderful vibe. People could easily see what was being made available and easily get it back to their cars. Really the only complaints I could see about the old location is the (at times) hot asphalt and the smell of old beer and the day-after awkwardness that clubs emit. Those things were a small price to pay for the location, but yes, they were present.
