    Yeah, considering the Dallas metro area covers almost 10,000 sq miles (~24,000 sq km) they do a solid job of covering the most densely populated areas/major commercial spots with the one major exception of Arlington

    PCH would be really tough geographically and insanely expensive. I just do not see this for a long time, given the total failure of the California High Speed Rail project, which might not ever finish and is already way over budget after only completing a small portion of it in the most...

    Not the result I wanted ... but the NHL did an amazing job with this ... maybe too good, the regular season resuming is almost a bit of a letdown

    That is clearly the matchup the TV networks are pulling for. Should be a good game

    Maybe Finland can do something on the PP and make it a semi-game ... will be curious what the US does against Sweeden, looking like it will end up being a pretty meaningless game for both teams pending any major comeback by Finland

    One headline I think summed up Carter perfectly, "Good man, middling President"

    Regarding the pardons, there is no doubt the President is given essentially unlimited power of pardon. It is not a giant shock, despite any past declarations, that he would pardon his son. My primary problem with pardons in general are those that happen after the election. If there were to...

    The Future Past Tour 2024

    Saw them Saturday in Fort Worth, really good show (saw it last year in Vancouver so no surprises) ... but a lot of fun and they sounded quite good. I will say I really enjoyed The Hu as well. I don't think I will rush out and buy their albums, but I would see them again. Interesting...

    The Future Past Tour 2024

    Going on Saturday in Fort Worth (I saw the tour last year in Vancouver) .. looking forward to it. Especially since they are playing there instead of their usual venues around the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Really nice arena that was built for concerts primarily versus sports. The sound is...

    a problem with both parties .. the "it's their turn" nominee who is a poor candidate. Dole was that for the GOP, no shot at beating (Bill) Clinton where others might have at least had a shot, (Hillary) Clinton should have beaten Trump .. but snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory, but she...

    A long, but good article on the Latino vote. I think the Democrats for a long time just assumed their support like the black vote ... they vastly misread this. Demographics turns out not to be destiny. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/11/11/why-democrats-lost-latinos-00188769

    That is what people were saying in poll after poll ... whether they were right or wrong is a different matter .. but really does not matter when it comes to the electorate. She locked herself in hard with an unpopular administration instead of trying to make herself some kind of "change" when...

    I am not happy Trump won, but I am happy Harris lost (if there results were different, just switch the names). But I guess $1B in such a short period of time does not seem to buy so much any more. In any case, polls showed over and over people were unhappy with inflation and thought the...

    I would take exit polls with a a bit of a grain of salt, but from NBC .. you have to give people a reason to vote for you. (red is Trump, Blue Harris). Full results here https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-elections/exit-polls
