Big Red Car here. Low clouds, warm wind out of the south — going to be a nice hot Texas day before it’s all over.
The Texas heat can be a chore but it’s only June, so it is only going to get hotter. Haven’t hit 100F for a stretch yet, so we still have a bit of time to go. Bring it, sayeth the Big Red Car.
Big Red Car here. Hey, it’s raining early this morning in the ATX. Well, we like a bit of rain. Seems like a nice gentle rain falling on our homes and fields and Big Red Cars because I am parked on the freakin’ street, Boss.

So we received a question from Austin entrepreneur and business owner — Joni G. Old time friend of The Boss. Very successful entrepreneur and Mom. Creator of jobs, runner of businesses and all around great American.
