Getting Mysterious In New Braunfels

 Where was I?

And where is that "blockbuster" UAP/UFO report? 

Still In New Braunfels

 But I'm eager to go back to the black and white basics.

That's a bed and breakfast place in the background. The owners seem to have a whimsical sense of humor.

 It is very rare and very unusual to see a green Lubbock. We'll enjoy it while we can, I guess.

 This is precisely the sort of weather I would like for July 4th-- even wetter, in fact. Meanwhile, on with New Braunfels.

Reflections.

I might like to go back to black & white basics when I complete this New Braunfels segment.

Still New Braunfels

 Rainy in New Braunfels, but now rainy in Lubbock as well. Great weather. It never rains enough around here. When it rains a lot Lubbock almost looks halfway decent. And the rain keeps the dust down. My sinuses are not tormenting me since we've had this rainy spell. 

I found this fascinating piece of railroad maintenance equipment. I didn't do much driving in New Braunfels because of tourist traffic. I am so happy that Lubbock is not a tourist town. Traffic in Lubbock is never very bad, but I time my errands to avoid certain times of day to reduce my traffic experience even more. Never, ever, do I use the Loop. Some people seem to want to get places as rapidly as possible, and maybe they don't have much free time. ALL of my time is free, and there is NEVER any reason for me to be in a hurry. Ahhhhh! I could probably do all sorts of traveling, but-- I HATE travel. I don't need or want novelty in any form. New sights? New experiences? New "horizons"? No thanks.
