Big Red Car here. Nice hot day here in the ATX. What a day.
The Boss is still out of town and I am left again with the house sitter — who runs the Big Red Car hard and fast. And the Big Red Car loves being run hard and fast, ya’ll.
Big Red Car here and I fear I hear the tocsin of war in the future for the United States. Worse still, I fear the US enters the Syrian conflict having lost the advantages of tactical surprise.
Big Red Car here. If you haven’t heard about the new movie The Butler please go get a physical right away. Haha, funny stuff, Big Red Car.
The movie is the “true” life story of a black butler — Cecil Gaines in the movie and Gene Allen in the real world — in the White House who served Presidents from Harry Truman to Ronald Reagan. It is a racial road map of America and how its views on race evolved over a protracted period of time with a lens held up to the Oval Office.
It stars an interesting cast including Forrest Whitaker, Oprah Winfrey, Jane Fonda, Terrence Howard, Cuba Gooding, Jr, Robin Williams and the BRC’s personal favorite — Minka Kelly.
Big Red Car here. The Boss is wandering around on Daufuskie Island — apparently the most relaxing place he has been in a recent series of very relaxing places.
Spotty cell phone service and weak Internet service but I think that may all be a subterfuge to avoid and ignore the rest of the world. He can be like that sometimes.
Big Red Car here. Another great day — hot, ya’ll — in paradise for the Big Red Car. On Earth as it is in Texas.
So, I’ve been thinking about fairy tales — those stories told by, well, fairies to ‘splain things and to provide cute analogies.
Big Red Car here. Bit sunny here in the ATX and going to be 103F today. Going to be over 100F for the rest of August — bring it, Mothah Nature, bring it.
But it is only 18 days until the first Longhorn football game on 31 August v New Mexico State. Of course, it is a night game and should only be 98F by 7:00 PM. Those boys from the New Mexico will have no problem handling the heat, Mothah Nature has not been cutting them any slack this summer.
Big Red Car here. Well, The Boss got skunked on the tarpon in Key Largo. [Kind of like to see The Boss get his butt knocked in the dirt from time to time. Good for him to learn a bit of humility, haha. Watch yourself, Big Red Car.]
Final score — The Boss 0, Tarpon 7.
Big Red Car here. The Boss is still trying to catch a tarpon — The Boss 0, Tarpon 5 — and is getting whiffed pretty bad. Haha — ooops, why am I laughing?
Anyway there are things going on in the world in which the United States is getting whiffed also.
