Yes, that is an actual picture of the lake to the right.
Thankfully for those of us who pay taxes in this area, this money will not be coming from the city itself. Instead, the funds will come from a number of sources, including the LCRA (Lower Colorado River Authority), the Pflugerville Community Development Corporation, and local developers.
Lake Pflugerville is about five minutes from my house. We actually spent this past Fourth of July there as a family, enjoying the huge and impressive fireworks show, which was billed as the "Pflugerville Pfireworks Pfestival". You can read my post about our special day here:
We Had an Awesome Evening for the Fourth! We even got paid to enjoy it!
The lake is still fairly new, having been created in March 2006 as a water source for the city, so the new improvements are truly improvements, rather than necessities at this point.
I look forward to enjoying more time at the 180-acre lake. Who knows? Maybe I will even re-learn how to fish (I haven't gone since I was a kid). I know that they have stocked the lake with TONS of fish, according to what I have read and heard over the past couple of years.
There is also a crushed granite trail which runs around the perimeter for 3 miles. I need to make better use of this nearby amenity when the weather cools off around here.
Thanks for reading this brief update. I first noticed this story in the Community Impact newspaper, which is a terrific source of local information.

However, have you heard the rumor that Google puts new websites into what people call the "sandbox?" Its supposed to be like a "waiting list" where new websites aren't included in their search results until a "certain amount of time" has elapsed. How or why this rumor got started isn't clear.
Many Internet Marketing "experts" have capitalized on this rumor. They say their software can get your new website crawled and indexed by Google and avoid the "sandbox."
Because many of us are impatient and want to get immediate results, we easily fall for the hype in the sales letters that promote these questionable products.
Unfortunately, some of these products can give you only short term or mediocre results.
Some of these questionable methods include creating hundreds or thousands of blogs and posting links to your new websites on each. In one case, Blogspot or Blogger blogs, own by Google, will disable all of your Adsense ads if you create hundreds or thousands of fake blogger accounts just to earn income from Adsense.
Other tactics use software to automatically post your links into the comment sections of hundreds or thousands of other people's blogs. Owners of these blogs consider this spam and can report your website to your web hosting company who may decide to disable your account.
Why take the risk with such a high penalty to pay for questionable results when there are legitimate ways to get your site crawled and indexed by Google?
Two legitimate methods or practices can achieve immediate results but won't get you into trouble with bloggers or the search engines.
Getting your site listed in directories is the easiest way for Google to discover your new website and get your web pages crawled and indexed. There are hundreds of directories, which organize websites under different categories. Many of these directories have good Page Rank and are easy to get into if your site meets their submission criteria.
Submitting articles with your link in a resource box to article directories will also help get Google to discover your new website and get it crawled and indexed. There are hundreds of these article directories which also have good Page Rank and will accept your articles if your article is useful and well written.
If your site is search engine friendly, i.e., if your site is built so it can be easily crawled and indexed by the search engines, and you have relevant and unique content which is valuable or useful to your visitors, then your new site will not be stuck in the so called "sandbox."
With these two legitimate methods you can expect to see Google crawl and index your new website within 24 hours. Only a few days later, your sites will be getting traffic from the search engines.
Once you realize that these legitimate practices for getting crawled and indexed by Google are available and that they can give you immediate results, you don't have to fall for the shady and questionable tactics that some Internet marketing "experts" are promoting to get you to buy their software.
