The uber-liberals in Austin are all wetting their beds or curled in the fetal position right about now ...........................

DM -
Thanks for a most awesome link!! I haven’t been over to Lawdog in ages. He’s not posting as much as he used to - who is?? - but they’re all worthwhile. That’s an out-effin-standing bit of news about Austin. Lovin’ it!
And from there I picked up a link to another site I’d forgotten about ...
Angry Alien’s 30 second Bunny Theater!And learned of 2 books I’d like to read: the century old King of the Khyber Rifles and the more recent alt.reality work of S.M. Stirling, The Peshawar Lancers.
Looking into Stirling, I saw that he wrote one called “The Scourge of God”. I thought that I had read that one, but it turns out that I had read William Dietrich’s The Scourge of God instead. His is a story about Attila the Hun. And that lead me to the other books that Dietrich has written, including Hadrian’s Wall and Napolean’s Pyramid, that I will keep an eye out for at libraries and garage sales.
Thanks again!
Come on, Drew, REAL race fans in the US have know about right turns for a long time. The first race I attended was the first at Riverside International Raceway (RIR), east of Riverside, California, in September 1957 (I had just had my eighth birthday). It was a California Sports Car Club event. We held races there until suburban sprawl buried it under houses in the 1980s. Then there was Sebring, Florida (ask Jim Hall of Chaparral Cars about driving in the rain in an open top car), and many other courses throughout the USA.
Brings back fond memories (arguing whether the seagulls at RIR used bomb sights) and good friends and times long gone.
