He and his wife were watering the yard on Monday. When they came back outside to move the sprinkler, it was gone. A hole had formed in the middle of their lawn about three feet across and their sprinkler was at the bottom of a tunnel that had collapsed.

They agree the structure was built after 1909 because railroad ties were used in the construction. That year is when the railroad first came to Lubbock from Plainview. Right now, the function of the structure is anyone's guess.

"What it was used for, it would be nice to know, it really would be because it's a mystery. It's just in a very unexpected place," said Dr. Tidwell.

Wood box culverts are common out there and are still in use for drainage structures under railroad tracks. If this was ever associated with the railroad, there is a right of way "Valuation Map" that would show the structure.

Just because the railroad today is miles away... don't mean squat...

That being said... it was probably aliens.

What did goggle show?

Depends on whether the goggle is rose colored or vomit yellow colored.

LOL!

Got me dead to rights....:)

32G of RAM and more windows open than the Holiday Inn.

[I lose track of the darn things, what with all the open-in-separate window links]

When it hits 80+ open windows, the mouse gets squirrely.

Dell sells Alienware now [I know, GAG!] and I got it from the refurb outlet division for less half the price of ‘new’ because I’m signed up for ‘deal alerts’ and got a 25% off of outlet prices coupon.

It had several “issues” when I got it but came with an in-home warranty and the only thing left ‘original’ is the body.

Every bit of guts has been replaced, including the screen.

The snake is pretty low tech, however.

:)
