... hardcore, sick, twisted, delusional, trumpworld cult territory. For the most part. Like Lubbock. But there are at least some people there who are smart and sane, just as there are some people in Lubbock who are smart and sane. Not enough though. Not nearly enough. Smart, sane, human beings have always been a rare commodity. Even a cursory glance at human history will confirm that. It's been a freaking lunatic parade. I wish we had the complete writings of Democritus. Many other things should have gone into the trash bin. Plato, for instance. Platonism has been a malignant influence. But let's get back to New Braunfels-- structures in New Braunfels. Houses, and things like that.
Some houses in New Braunfels have a rather steep drop off in back. The backyard, if you can call it that, slopes down sharply. Great fun if you're a kid with a soapbox racer. A pain if you're an adult trying to push a lawnmower up that hill. It's easiest, if you live on a hill like that, to just let things go wild.
