Big Red Car here. Nice bright sunny day here in the ATX but windy, ya’ll. SXSW is in town, so the town is overrun with 250,000 beautiful people, nerds, geeks and hipsters.
So, The Boss got the Grande Communications ONE GIG Internet service connected yesterday. Google Fiber is still talking smack but Grande is rolling that baby out big time. Continue reading

They visited the areas of East Berlin that the Russians had not rehabilitated.
They also met with similar aged Russian officers. It was a staring contest. The Boss was not impressed with the Russian company grade officers though they could really drink vodka.
So, how does the Russian Army stack up as a military force? Continue reading
