It's not everyday that one comes across art in the flatlands of the Texas panhandle.
Luckily plenty abounds near the town of Canyon.
We got the Palo Duro canyon state park, I'd have pics but there were toooo many cops and they wanted me to pay to get in.
I was just site seeing, and wasn't interested in talking to cops, nor paying to drive around the loop.
So, I went to this landmark, instead.
The plaque says something about Percy Shelley and his wife finding this broken statue in 1819.
It includes a few lines that he wrote.
Maybe you can read them,
The small print is an affirmation of the truth of the assertion that these are indeed what Shelley found.
I'm not sure that what it says is true, there was an eccentric oil millionaire that went around town setting up what would have been traffic signs in folks' yards if they didn't have varying inscriptions, like, 'Grab Loot!', 'That girl has been on more laps than a napkin.', and something about hot apple pies being the greatest thing in the world, I would have gotten pics, but I was riding without insurance, and with an expired out of state license tag, and didn't want to dilly dally in town.
You will just have to go to Amarillo and see them for yourself.
You will want to hurry, that guy died a couple years ago, but not before the little boys told on him for paying them to come over and play pool in his game room.
Quite the character that will be sent down the memory hole now, I'm sure.
Have a perfectly peaceful day.
Keep working, stop paying. No war, but the class war!!
