Big Red Car here in the rainy ATX. It is a wet, green world here. On the green Earth as it is in green Texas!
The other day, The Boss was mumbling.
He had read something that caught his attention.
Inspiration is for amateurs; professionals strap in, get to work and grind it out. Continue reading
Big Red Car here. It rained yesterday in the tropical rain forest formerly known at Austin, Texas.
We are starting to like the daily rains. Everything is green. It is like the Amazon valley.
I am skeptical as to whether it will continue, which brings me to my thought for today — skepticism. Continue reading
Big Red Car here in the tropical rain forest known as Austin by God Texas.
It’s been raining a little here. Not that we don’t need it; we do. If we did not have such an arid climate, we would not be complaining but we are not really used to this much rain; so we complain.

Big Red Car here. Wow, it is unbelievable here in the ATX — weather, scent of spring (except for the killer pollen), and the flowers. The azaleas are spectacular.

We’ve got the start of 300,000 folks in town for SXSW (South By Southwest) and the weather is for you visitors. Move here, please.
Get some TexMex at Guero’s Matt’s El Rancho, Chuy’s, Santa Rita and get some BBQ at Green Mesquite. Don’t even think about Franklin BBQ. You’re not locals, y’all. Painful truth. But, you could be by this time next year.
