Say goodbye to the Buddy Holly croswalk in Lubbock, Texas. It has been ordered removed by the Trump administration. Governor Abbott has told the Texas Department of Transportation that no political messages are allowed on Texas roadways. We are in a stupid timeline.

"You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don't you call me, 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the banking whores."

Now only one Moody remains. John Lodge, bassist and vocalist of the Moody Blues, died this morning at 82 in England. A band I saw more than any other, eight times in total, his voice was unmistakable, and his bass playing was note-perfect. Only Justin Hayward remains. #music #RIP #rockandroll

My thanks to Cindy in the Kent County Appraisal District Jayton Texas for her help in getting taxes paid on 2 city lots. The family has had these for 4 generations. A total property tax bill for 2025 of $1.18! Clairemont Texas...it's a ghost town in the West Texas Plains. #Texas

Walter Hyatt at the KZEP studios in San Antonio after our 90 minute interview. I miss you so much. Walter was aboard ValuJet Flight 592 to attend the graduation of his daughter. The plane caught fire shortly after takeoff and crashed, killing all 110 passengers and crew on board on May 11, 1996.

This came to me at a very dark time in my life in the mid 80s. Today seems like deja vu

A dream begats a nightmare
A nightmare begats reality
When a dream doesn't care.
