Susan Sarandon calls the pope a Nazi? Hank WIlliams Jr compares our President to Hitler?
I realize these 2 are people who don't live in the real world where real people have real problems but seriously? Who do these people think they are? Comparing a person you don't agree with with the deadliest leader in our memory is ludicrous. I hate it when people can get press bites because of their celebrity and then say something so careless. Fate alone has decided that these 2 moderately talented people don't have to have real jobs, get to have all the $$ in the world and for some reason get media attention. Maybe they should think before they speak.
October 17 is Haboob Day!!
A haboob (Arabic:"هَبوب", "strong wind") is a type of intense duststorm carried on an atmospheric gravity current.
Yesterday about 545, we had an official Haboob in Lubbock!! I was sitting in my house, listening to the wind howl and watching the puny dust go by when all of a sudden it was almost completely dark and the wind kicked up and I looked out to see this:
I did not take this picture but this was the sight out my back door. It went on for a few minutes and blew on somewhere else. The weatherman said they had a wind gust st the station of 74. I have never seen anything like this and others interviewed in the paper from the Dust Bowl area said they had not seen anything like it since 1935. It left as fast as it came but it was a doozy of a dust storm!!

Tommy Tuberville and Texas Tech Game
I went to the Texas Tech football game last night and now officially think Mr Tuberville needs to find a new job. I have asked all of my doubter friends to give him a chance but last night he lost the title of Coach in my eyes. I am an alum who will always bleed red and black and will always root for any Tech team in any situation but I will not support a coach, an administration or a system that leads us BACK to mediocrity! We spent too many years in the middle then we spent years at the top and I like the top and I hate losing!! I've got my guns up and will hope for the best and that includes a new coach with a heart to win!!
The only good thing about the game is that I got to spend it with my friend Holly (from college) and her daughter Lindsey and son in law Conner. Here most of us are (Conner is taking the picture):
