Elsa cruise

It's always a pleasure driving from the house I grew up in to the inner city limits of Elsa, TX. The view is always a joy. Today for instance, there are still some sugar cane fields that haven't been burned yet, so just that sight alone is picture-worthy every time. It is in the middle of November and it's still sunny out with no real coldness to it. I get to drive through all 2 miles of the city before wandering into Edcouch, TX or somewhere outside both city limits but still in Delta Area territory. There are thousands of snapshots throughout this area. I see myself at different points in my life in different areas within the area. I think of adolescent years, elementary years, and everything in between. The sunsets are familiar. The buildings are still in the same places, new ones have filled in some of the gaps throughout the area. The spirit and pride is still the same. The corruption with drugs and money is still the same. It's an interesting place to live and grow. This area is a different type of machine. It works differently, but it works with passion and purpose. Driving around the city always gets me thinking of growth and cultivation in the area. How do we grow efficiently? How do we do things the right way? How do we make all our dreams come true in the realest and purest way? I think about Elsa because this place is unique, creative, inventive, and everything in between but they don't stay here long. There isn't funding here. There isn't much money to provide the area, right? Let me investigate more. These are the thoughts an Elsa cruise inspires.
