A drive around the block

- Inside the old corner store -

I took a little drive this morning to let the dog hang it's head out the window and to see what's going on in the neighborhood. It's pretty easy just to take the track to work and miss what's happening down the road.

There are two water berms by the old Doc Cochran place, one on each side of US 180, and Southwest Trailers has set down stakes in Hobbs, according to the advertising on the side of a tank out there. They offer an array of services specific to the construction industry.

Word around is that they're still frac'ing the Davenport well.

There's a new big rig, I'm assuming horizontal, just west and north of Camp Springs.

I've noticed that a lot of people have loaded up on calves, throwing them out on vast fields of newly growing wheat. I wouldn't mind having a couple myself.

Here are a few oil links I found this week:

Sept 12, PB Oil & Gas makes mention of Fisher County, down towards the bottom of the article. You can access the November issue from this page.

Groundwater Data from the Texas Water Development Board. We're all interested in water, right?

The Landman Blog, factual information from the landman's perspective.

Here's the Nov. 11 Oil Report from the Abilene Reporter News.

My new favorite journalist is Ron Erdrich, who writes for the Big Country Journal. Read this Veteran's Day article he wrote and I bet you'll like him, too.

Hobbs School doing's
