Has America lost its ability to be outraged, shocked?
Big Red Car here. Prolific thinking going on here in the ATX. We seem to be bombarded by progressively more troubling revelations.
The Boss was harping on this just today.

Size Matters
Big Red Car here. Nice cooooooooooooooool night but WTF about this humidity? Almost 80% — that’s like freakin’ Houston. Houston, we’ve got a problem! Haha, Big Red Car, you are starting early today. Cut the crap, Big Red Car and get on with today’s story.
So the house sitter runs the snot out of the Big Red Car last night but almost forgets to fill me up with gas — petrol to you Brits. The kid forgets to gas me up. The Boss is going to hear about this, you can bet on it. I limp into the gas station and finally get filled up after the kid finally finds my gas tank behind the license plate. Where do they get these kids from?

Talking Yourself Down Off the Ledge
Big Red Car here. Going to be a bit cloudy and gloomy in the ATX today. Hmmm, it is getting close to Memorial Day, the day of historic Austin, Texas flooding.
You are way too young, Grasshopper, to remember the 1981 Memorial Day floods when Shoal Creek was filled to overflowing with wrecked cars. Oh, that was a day.

Sequestration + 2
Big Red Car here. What a day — bluebird, not a cloud in the sky. Crisp, cool.
But all is not well in the Big Red Car’s world. In one word: SEQUESTRATION.

Remember that 3:00 AM phone call?
Big Red Car here. So I am waiting for the sun to come out again. Waiting for that sunny day.
It got me thinking about all kinds of dark subjects. Like the debate on who should be taking the 3:00 AM phone call in the White House.

Cut the crap on UNEMPLOYMENT already
Big Red Car here. The Boss has been driving me hard because of the perfectly lovely weather here in the ATX. I love it. Wind whipping around and growling along.
So The Boss is talking with his friend about unemployment. Suddenly, The Boss says: ”Cut the crap, unemployment is still a huge problem. Let me show you.”

We have a fundamental cash flow problem, not a political problem
Big Red Car here. Still drying out from the rains last night and today. We need the rain so I can’t complain. Who would listen anyway?
So I’m talking to a cute little Mercedes Benz convertible (top buttoned up, mind you). She lives with an accountant and we get talking about the cash flows of our country. Not politics, mind you, just how much is coming in and how much is going out and how much we are borrowing.

Plan Your Escape — how safe are you?
Big Red Car here. Still raining in Austin which puts me in a gloomy mood.
Talk about gloom, look at this. The Boss got his hands on this map which contains some really gloomy information.
