Some interesting things about Lubbock:
1. Everyday is Sunday here, or at least for the cars on the street. They all drive blindingly slow. Our minimum speed is their maximum. If the speed limit is 40 miles an hour, they stop short of passing this limit and most often go well slower. This does not apply solely to the little old ladies who take up two lanes with the barges they drive; it also applies to many others in their missiles for cars. I fear that they buy these speed demons ignorant of their true potential, because they take them puttering down the major thoroughfares of Lubbock.
2. The drainage system of Lubbock is its streets no matter how major. Unlike the drainage systems where the water empties into an underground system, here the water can go nowhere but the low spot, until it evaporates, granted many low points are parks designed to gather the water. The low spots in the streets retain water to be barely disturbed by the slow moving cars until it evaporates. (Contrarily, I am like a little boy doing what I can to splash the water around.)
3. It is easy to get around Lubbock for the most part because the roads were set up to a grid running North, South, East, and West. The lettered and named roads run North and South and the numbered roads run East and West.
