Pronghorn Antelope. For me, one of the 4 or 5 coolest animals in North America. Likely the 2nd fastest land mammal in the world. Able to exceed 50 miles per hour for long periods compared to any predator.
Evolved to evade things like North American cheetahs, not modern vehicles. Glad he/she and you evaded each other.
I disagree.
I think quite a few here live in some kind of bubble, or under a dome or something similar.
I’ve been to Lubbock many times over the years on business. I agree that there is a very distinct smell in and around Lubbock. Now, I have no idea what a Jiffy Lube smells like, nor did I realize that there was a Jiffy Lube smell. What I always smell when I get near Lubbock is the smell of cow ****. That’s a smell I’m well-acquainted with from growing up on a dairy farm as well as running a cattle operation for most of my life. The smell of cow **** that is noticed around Lubbock is from the excessive number of cattle feed yards located all around the outskirts of the city. Lubbock at one time had more cattle being fed in yards than anywhere else in the United States. There are huge feedlots and large numbers of cattle there for sure. I guess my question would be, does a typical Jiffy Lube smell like cow ****?
Touche'.
Honestly though, Lubbock's cow **** smell pales in comparison to other parts of the panhandle. I think the big lot on the east side of town gets pretty stinky when the wind is coming from that direction, but the prevailing wind is usually taking it away from town.
There's a feedlot on the westside of town on I -40 in Amarillo that will gag a maggot from 30 miles away. Sucker is huge. I left a hotel on the westside of Amarillo once because I couldn't sleep due to the smell. Went and stayed in Tucumcarri NM. They tell you if you smell it, you're in Lubbock... If you step in it, you're in Amarillo.
But the real stink is just southwest of Amarillo. I had a customer with about 25 locations in the panhandle and that area SW of Amarillo and a little further NW from Lubbock was unbearable from all the feedlots. Dimmit, Muleshoe, Hereford, Bovina... woof. The cow **** smell definitely drifts into Lubbock at times from there though.
The smell I am talking about is always in Lubbock.. It's some kind of amalgamation of the cow ****, pesticides, and oilfield odorants. Midland and Odessa have the gas/oil smell. Amarillo is all cow ****. Lubbock is some combination of both. Reminds me of the waiting room at an oil change place after bubba took a **** in the little bathroom right next to my chair.

All good to know, but within the thread, I was kind of hoping for stuff about the football team itself. Are they run or pass oriented? How about their defense? Do they have any star players, etc.?
I did the same in that area back in the 80's for Delta, Seis Pro and Seis X. In my younger days when I was trying to decide what to do with my life and education. Nothing puts your future into perspective quite like swinging a machete for a seismograph company in the Summer or detonating underground dynamite off a airboat in the marshes of Louisiana during December. My experiences were limited to mostly east Texas and south Louisiana
It has been 14 years, but I am still mesmerized by your avatar. Every day. Brings the heat.
