Dick, RE: 6971
So much, belated, to say. UT Basketball...UT is not a B'Ball school, although it WANTS to be. Still wants to be a football school...Should be able to do both, but?... It will win what it wins, and go home when the "higher powers" deign that outcome.
Austin street racing...A prime example of what defunding the police gets a city. Our city council voted to defund our police...lasted about a year, then they voted to "refund" the police. Then, we were down about 200+ officers. They are not, and did not come back. Austin has no officers available for traffic...you are "lucky" to get one to come to a real emergency. Thus, the street racing that was organized in Houston by outside forces.
My Corvette...As a Lieutenant in Germany 1970's, I had a 454 ci, 4-speed, Stingray...I could pass anything on the Autobahn except an Esso station! As an aside, I once was passed going 135 mph by a Lambroghini. Hey, you get what you can afford and pay for.
You are so fortunate to live in Montana, where woke folks have not arrived, but will catch up with you sooner or later. Hope it is "later."
Best as always...
Rowland
