Lubbock, TX (literally) in my rear view mirror, 2013
Ten years ago, today 🙌
(Also, #BuddyHolly and his dad did the psychedelic tile work in my Lubbock home before the Crickets. I was sad to leave that part behind. Ahay ahayhay)

If you’ve read book #FridayNightLights or seen the movie, that’s 35 years out of date now, but that’s the place.

Apologies for the low-tech presentation on this #throwbackthursday . This is an old photo of me at a cousin's cattle and sheep ranch in West Texas. Not sure if the lamb enjoyed my attention.

We were driving in an old car to a nearby ATM machine, to withdraw some cash for a road trip. Where to, I'm not sure. But somewhere out here in the West.

From the magazine: Adams says she’s not a troublemaker. She just wants to create a safe space for people who might otherwise feel alienated in her conservative, rural town. As the Observer previously reported, Tumbleweed + Sage hosted the first #drag queen story time in Wolfforth last summer, sparking what the local police chief said was the only protest he’d seen in the city in three decades.

“Initially, I was scared. I’m putting my business and my livelihood on the line to help others.”
Destiny Adams left a conservative West #Texas town to make a difference, Andrew Logan reports, only to return and change the town with a unique cafe that features offerings like free #contraception and drag queen story times.

Time of year I can resume my desert walks. (No rattlesnakes, no hunters, no 100° F) This photo is from my FB Memories a year ago. It amazes me the rocks that our Stone Age Ancestors left out in those vast expanses of the Southwestern USA. #desertrat #arrowheads #apache #westtexas

Some of my larger finds over the years. I'm fascinated by the craftsmanship of our Stone Age ancestors. It amazes me how many rocks I find that are shaped to fit the hand, and there is always a notch for the thumb. #arrowheads #nativeamericanartifacts #westtexas #apache

A very nice horse for sale in Marfa, 1939. Some classic hats in this shot, too! Taken by Russell Lee.

Traces of Texas reader Richard Soldano kindly sent in this dynamite photo of a cowboy, his wife, his dog and his saddle somewhere near Alpine, Texas circa 1935. His hat is EPIC!
