Big Red Car here. So The Boss is still in the Carolinas helping the Cub move to his new digs in Charlotte. The Queen City is a great city and is one of those great American cities that are emerging as regional centers of growth, culture and commerce. The Boss is very high on Charlotte.
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. 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.
Big Red Car here. Sorry that I have been so out of touch for the last three days but The Boss has been in Key Largo and has been trying to catch a tarpon.
Currently the score is showing: The Boss 0, Tarpon 3. The tarpon are throwing a shut out. [Haha, Big Red Car.]
Big Red Car here. Well, I was as stunned as you were when I heard that the President had cancelled his Martha’s Vineyard “rich & beautiful” vacation to vacation in Detroit.
Talk about putting one’s money where one’s mouth is. Good on ya, Mr President.
