Suppose you are a CEO/founder of a company that has MVP (minimum viable product) in the rear view mirror and are scaling — “Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!” You will from time to time encounter a “good idea” either of your own origin or a bit of “monkey see, monkey do” which is a […]

The Militarization of Independence Day

Big Red Car — Sat, 06 Jul 2019 15:15:00 +0000

Your Big Red Car was finishing his third all-beef, mustarded, and relished hot dog on a brioche bun of the holiday weekend when he noted a reporter decrying the “militarization of Independence Day.” The thesis of the report was that the militarization of Independence Day was inappropriate. This thought was driven by the static display […]

Big Red Car here. The Boss is in Cashiers, NC enjoying the rain. Nice road trip with a delightful Cajun dinner in Monroe, Louisiana. The spiciest Cajun food ever but the mud bugs, jambalaya, crawfish etouffe — cher, that it the real deal. So today we talk about diplomacy and what happens when it fails. […]

Big Red Car here. Rainy and gloomy and an altogether typical late May day. The ATX gets a lot of its rain during the end of May and then we settle in for the long, hot, dry journey through June to August and finally to September and the start of Longhorn football. Go Horns! On […]

Big Red Car here. Going to be another sweet day in the ATX — sunny, bit of a breeze, low humidity and cool. Ah, on Earth as it is in Texas. So The Boss has been re-reading Washington’s Crossing by David Hackett Fischer and published by the Oxford Press. This must be the third time […]
