Nothing here but my impressions. The literal is not to be seen.
It was a nice, sunny, day when I took these. But that won't last much longer! In only a few days we are to get a wintery BLAST!! Or so they say. The local weather forecasters are never very accurate.
Yeah, the time has rolled around again to put up some pics of Lubbock, but this time all the pics are my IMPRESSIONS, and not what you could see through your own eyes if you were out and about in town.
More to come.
Here are two pics taken near the entrance at Wurstfest.
There is, of course, a lot more to Wurstfest than this.
New Braunfels has a downtown full of antique stores, bars, saloons, boutiques, and other tourist traps. That downtown area is bisected by a rail road:
Most of New Braunfels and the rest of this part of Texas has nothing on which to build a foundation. The soil is mush. It shifts constantly. Here are three pics that illustrate what this can do to a house over time:
You'd be hard pressed to find a right angle. Even concrete slabs crack and shift and sink. Hillsides FLOW.
Here we go then. This series begins the color.
And now I have nothing left but some New Braunfels trivia and a few pics of the Wurstfest environment.
The pic below was taken just inside the entrance to Wurstfest.
Later you'll see a color version.
Off the topic, I strongly suggest that EVERYONE stop using Internet Explorer, if you can. I use Mozilla Firefox and it is much better and more secure. I am experimenting with an add-on (MANY enhancements are available for this browser) called Lightbeam. I visit a site and Litebeam allows me to see all of the third party sites involved, many of which do nothing but track my browsing and feed me ads. In Litebeam you can BLOCK those third party sites. Blocking must be done judiciously, but you can eliminate a lot of ad garbage from sites you visit often, like CNN.
