Under the “Incidents” section for the refinery’s Wikipedia page: “1989 #explosion and #fire,” “1999 explosion and fire,” “2012 fire,” “2014 incident,” “2016 incident.” In the wake of the 2014 incident, Chevron brought a news outlet called the #RichmondStandard to the town. In 2022 they launched #PermianProud, a news outlet for the area between #Texas and #NewMexico around #Lubbock, #Midland and #Odessa.

A large area of my front yard (under a big red oak tree) has sprouted some teeny #mushrooms that I've never ever seen in my yard or in this town. Small as my pinky finger fingernail. It's been a very wet spring and early summer here in #Lubbock, so this is just serendipity that these decided to grow, I think.
