Let's hope it does become a reality.

Without getting too political I think a new government needs to be voted in. I’ll just leave it at that.

I do know that completing the Texas Triangle is among Amtrak's higher priorities - though for now they're talking conventional passenger rail, not HSR. Even just adding additional conventional passenger service would help fill a big gap. https://www.amtrakconnectsus.com/maps/

Newly announced federal funding will support Capital Metro's plans to double-track a portion of its Red Line commuter rail line, upgrade the Plaza Saltillo station, and bring other mobility and safety improvements to East Austin.

As we talked about the much needed rail expansion in Austin earlier last month, this is some much needed news as our commuter rail is near capacity.

Go Texas! Beat OU! Hook'em

I would scold you for being on your phone while sitting in traffic but then I remembered you Texas fans have a lot of experience distracting yourselves while stuck and going nowhere. Boomer Sooner!

Well it was a bit heartbreaking as a Longhorn fan, but OU was the better team last week. Texas didn't have their head in the game til the 2nd half and took the lead then OU took us by surprised with just over a min. But at least it wasn't a blow out like last year. Lol
