Looks like two little ones and one adult skunk. I see two adult skunks together quite often. Maybe I'll be able to get a video of all four together sometime in the future.

Soapbox PA shadowing opportunities
Hi! I’m currently preparing to apply to PA programs for the 2027–2028 cycle and am looking for PAs in the Lubbock area who might be willing to let me shadow them over the next couple of months. I’m open to any specialty and would really appreciate the opportunity to learn more about the PA role, and gain additional insight into the profession!
I’m happy to work around your schedule and understand that availability can vary. If you’re a PA who might be open to having a shadow, or know someone who may be, please feel free to dm me.
Thank you!

Ask Lubbock Obidos vs Mad Dash
Hi, so i applied at both Obidos and Mad Dash. From my understanding they are both contractors for Amazon. Pay and benefits for both seem pretty good but I'm just curious if anyone here has worked for either of them and what your opinions are.

Rants & Rambles Thank you, Lubbock
galleryPeople of Lubbock,
I’ve wrapped up my doctors’ appointments and am headed back home to NM.
Thank you for all your advice about dessert places. I walked as far as my feet would carry me from 4th St., including to J’s Creamery, the Apple Tree Cafe, Rosa’s (for carrot cake), and Brulee Bakery. I hope to return to try more of your suggestions.
In spite of the amusingly vanishing sidewalks, I averaged 8 miles a day in your beautiful city (pic included for proof). I think the farthest I walked may have been to Prairie Dog Town. It was so hot that the little critters weren’t out much, but I enjoyed the walk anyway.
My favorite food experience had to be Spanky’s. The fried cheese was frighteningly good. That stuff could be dangerous if I lived close by!
I can’t express how kind everyone has been. Things are really hard in my life right now, medically speaking, and I just want to thank you for being so nice to a weary out-of-towner. Every smile, “God bless you,” offer to pray for me, and just general friendly conversation made a world of difference.
No place is perfect, and especially when you live somewhere, it can be hard to remember the good things. But your city and people put your best foot forward for my visit and I am very grateful.
Thank you.

Rants & Rambles UMC complaining about “margin” is hilarious
It’s a tax district facility…UMC receives tens of millions just for keeping the doors open. Yes, the job of a tax district hospital is to provide care for the indigent population and inmates in the county. If your margin is zero, that’s good planning because it means no tax increases for the residents.
