Well, depends. If your definition of alive is moving, such as the un-dead, then yes, I'm still alive.

Big Spring.....that is a desolate ghost town these days. I spent a month or so there doing an engineering job a few years back. One decent restaurant in town....middle of town there....and that was IT.

It's got a lot more life here lately, they even added a Chicken Express. Between 400 companies working on rebuilding the refinery and the windmill crew there is a lot more money flowing into town. Mainly to the motels and RV lots.

Glad to hear that. Last time I was in Big Springs was before Fina shut the refinery down. Guessing around 1995?

Had an Air Force training base that shut down in 1977. As far as I know Fina still had the refinery operating until they handed it over to Alon in 1999(2000?).
