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.

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

Happy Caturday. This is our porch cat, Bonkers, deciding he needed "airing it out" this Saturday morning. #Caturday

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.

Her spirit remains in the house with 3 of her children, Rocky, Johnny, and Paulie. She kept me going while rehabbing my knee replacement in the summer of 2020 as a stray. She demanded head scratches every day as I strolled slowly down the sidewalk. We were blessed to have her in our lives. #cats

Flashback - To be read in your best Steven Wright or Mitch Hedberg voice:
"Here I am at my 2nd birthday...they tell me it was my 1st birthday...but I know it was my second as I had another birthday the year before. Wait....What?...I'm so confused.
Happy New Year everyone!

During the summer of 2005 I helped my dear friend Cutter Brandenburg with his book about his years of being a road manager to some of rock's greatest stars. I scanned and restored over 500 images and designed the cover. It was a labor of love. I miss you Cee. #photography #music #books

One of my favorite shots from the wildflower photo safari this past spring in Texas. We made it to the Turkey Bend Recreation Area in Travis County early in the morning finding dew drops on this flower. #nature #naturephotography #wildflowers #texas #photography

Every year we grow a zinnia garden for all the pollinators in Central Texas. I hunker down on the patio with camera and tripod to marvel at the beauty of nature.
One of my favorites from this summer a Gulf fritillary close up.
