Lonely Days
This picture was taken on the south loop just outside a new city development. I happened to be out there looking to approve some storm sewer cleaning for our Street Dept. When I saw this stool (no pun intended) it just seemed so out of place. It was sitting in an area that looked kind of like a crop circle for the stool itself. I was compelled to take a picture as my mind raced trying to figure out what kind of life this thing had and who it had done wrong to end up here just outside the line of sight for all the world to see. I'm sure by now someone has labeled it junk and hauled it away, but for me I saw something else almost like a dream office for me, outdoors with a high rise desk that would require such a stool.

Water is LIFE
Anyone who really knows me has figured out at some point I have a fascination with windmills. Everyone has heard the saying the plow is the tool that broke the plains, but without the windmill no one could have survived to do the work or been able to feed the crops and animals. This marvel of simplicity can still be seen dotting the landscape around Amarillo. Lord knows we have no shortage of wind around here. The barbed wire has a story of its own.(I will do another post about it later.) All I will say is one of the greatest cattlemen of our country hated the stuff. This picture was taken southwest of Amarillo by about 2 miles and about a mile west of the Randall County Feed Lot.
