Big Red Car here. Another lovely Texas summer day. I wish you could be here to enjoy it. It is glorious. But, then, it IS Austin by God Texas, y’all!
So I finally got an interview with The Donald. He dropped by Austin and I drove out to the airport — where he was refueling his great big jet with his great big name on it — and we chatted in a hangar.
Here it is. Continue reading
Big Red Car here. Another — another — great day in the paradise that is the ATX.
On Earth as it is in Texas.
So, the Big Red Car is interested in the phenomenon that is The Donald from the perspective of assessing a political campaign as a startup. The Donald Startup!

So, now we turn to Cafe Amelie. Struggle with the pronunciation for a few minutes and then think of “Emily” with an “A”. Got it? Continue reading
Big Red Car here. Been reading a great book, A Spy Among Friends: Kim Philby and the Great Betrayal.
