I did not take this photo

Quote:
John A. Bowersmith/Lubbock Avalanche-Journal
With her shoes in her hand, a woman wades across the Wal-Mart parking lot at Fourth Street and Frankford Avenue on Friday afternoon. Heavy, consistent rains caused the retention pond near the store to flood the parking lot and streets around it.
This year now wettest on record for the weather service | AVALANCHE-JOURNAL

Zebra print shoulder bag, Talking on the cell phone, shoes in her arms, along with her big gulp, wading through the knee high water, rain still coming down, smoking a cig... all in the parking lot of the walmart. Not sure you can add too much more red-neck to this photo!

It ran on the front page today

---------------------------
Nevermind -- I'll take care of it myself!

Add both of those & this would be Odessa.

Then just change the bag to Gucci & it's Midland.

I used to work at the Avalanche-Journal, too, but happiness is the A-J in your rearview mirror. I'd say the comp is a little off because the sign at the cart corral is growing out of her head. And the photog didn't get her name for the cutline? Never woulda gotten away with that back in my day!
