moodyblue, and I lived in Lubbock for a couple of years. Two things about Lubbock still stand out in my mind even after all these years; one, Mac Davis used to say that the best view of Lubbock was the one in his rear view mirror, and, we used to say that we did not live on the edge of the earth, but if you stood on your tiptoes, you could see it from Lubbock.
The one mitigating factor of living in Lubbock during those years is that I still retained my allegiance to the Vikes, hated the 'boys.
