Secession

I just saw a news story about an area of northwest Austin that just voted to secede from Austin. Add to that the Buckhead area of Atlanta that is breaking away and the St. George section of Bator Rouge that just won court rulings allowing them to secede; I wonder how many more poorly run Democrat cities are going to see sections break away?

In Houston in 1996 an area called Kingwood was annexed. The residents there were strongly against this move but didn't have much choice. Like most expansionist cities Houston took them over, gouged them with taxes and provided far worse services than the township had as an unincorporated part of the county.

I think it is great that citizens are standing up to corrupt city governments and exercising their right of free association, including the right not to be forcibly associated with craphole cities.

PGA Scottie Scheffler

Arrested on way to PGA Championship this morning. Guess a bus hit and killed a man crossing in the bus lane. Scottie tried to get around on the median but was stopped by an officer who pulled him out of the car, handcuffed him and took him to jail. Facing 4 charges, 3 misdemeaners and 1 felony. He's been realeased and will make his tee time since the accident delayed the start of the tourney. I understand he was in the wrong but also realize cops can be over zealous but I'm sure this guy was frazzled.

Preakness today

Albaugh's horse runs again.
Catching Freedom.
Should like the smaller field.
Horse is just feisty and mean as Hell this week working out.
I think that might be good.
He ran too nice in the Derby.
Only Dan has a better speed rating.

Mystik Dan is abig favorite if it is as muddy as Churchill was yesterday today at Pimlico.
He's a mudder.
Uncle Heavy is too.
Tuscan Gold should be by pedigree.
Catching Freedom is okay with it.
Ran third in the mud.

I'd say Mystik Dan, Tuscan Gold, and Catching Freedom in a trifecta.
Add Imagination for the superfecta.
Imagination has to go for the lead and find out IF he can do the distance.
Unknown right now.
He could win.

I take no responsibility for any gambling losses you may incur. :)
