They got big long roads out there.
Today, Lubbock.
Road Trip!
The Jeep odometer turned all sevens as we left home.

We’re the blue dot on the map. If there is a blue dot on your map like there is on mine. Otherwise, we’re in Fischer, TX.

We got to enjoy Carolyn and Richie’s hospitality for the night.
A great big frog in our yard this morning
If we were to pick it up, it’s a two-hander.
If I have the identification right, it’s called a Giant Toad. Common in Mexico, it barely comes across the border to South Texas. Here in the U.S., it likes agricultural land and suburbs where city lights attract lots of insects. It has a big appetite.
Disheveled
A groove-billed ani, caught in an afternoon downpour, now drying out on the wire in the fading light.
Yardbird.
Tonight’s trip report
I was going to send out a picture of the kidney stone I was fortunate enough to just pass and collect on my own, but Judy says that’s TMI.
So I guess I’ll send out more flowers.
