Still In Downtown New Braunfels

 Heavy rain here last evening. But it still isn't enough. Not even remotely enough. Maybe we can got more heavy rain in the next few days. Meanwhile Lubbock prepares to become part of ERCOT. As you might expect, the process begins with outages. 








New Braunfels. They were part of ERCOT, and they had a hell of a time last winter. Lubbock was NOT part of ERCOT and we did just fine. What does that tell you?

More Downtown New Braunfels

 It's becoming as soggy here as it was in New Braunfels! Heavy rain this evening would be greatly appreciated.

Downtown New Braunfels

 Headed off in that direction, anyway, and getting lightly rained on.

More New Braunfels Houses

 The good old houses, in the good old neighborhoods.







There are only so many of these to go around. Any money you put into them is well spent. The porches are amazing. High ceilings. Hand crafted wood everywhere. Lots of lead paint. Whoops. Best to paint over it. Don't try to remove the old paint.

Still More New Braunfels

 It's an interesting place with an interesting history. It tries to preserve its history. 






You are very fortunate if you are able to live in the core of historic New Braunfels. The housing can be amazingly pricey, however, and there will be restrictions on modifications you can make to existing housing. The very best places to live in New Braunfels are in the oldest neighborhoods.
