@brettmartin This is very important to me. Panicked alittle as it didn’t start as early in the pennant races as usual. Made up for it once the big title got underway.

The Texas Quote of the Day:

"It's been a pretty good song. It was written in five minutes about a hot day in Austin, Texas with a margarita and a beautiful woman. I finished it in Key West. I had no idea."

----- Jimmy Buffett, who passed away yesterday, talks about how he wrote the most valuable song in history, "Margaritaville," one afternoon in 1976 after visiting a Mexican restaurant on Anderson Lane in Austin, Texas and then retreating to a friend's house in North­west Hills. Buffett was touring at the time. When he landed back in Key West, he polished off the lead single to his 1977 album Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes, an unexpected hit for the largely unknown singer that peaked at No. 8 on Billboard charts and notched the 14th most popular song of the year.

I love this story. Not only is there a Texas connection but also there's the idea that, like so many other songwriters before him, Jimmy was struck by creative lightning and, unknowingly, released the song just at the moment the zeitgeist was ready for it. Other than the brief moments of inspiration, it was largely luck, a matter of so many things aligning in the cosmos. But it grew to the point that Jimmy's Margaritaville Holdings was employing 5,000 people.

I wrote an ode to Texas state parks, which turn 100 this year. TPWD is struggling with overcrowding, underfunding, and the uphill battle to acquire new parkland—but some very cool new parks are on the way. https://t.co/i7LPzKxzEf

You've got tips? Get at me. Let's talk trains, buses, boats, bikes; let's talk people and policy and ideas good and bad; let's talk about what's working and talk about what's not.

I'm excited to wear out my shoes again in this business, but maybe I'll take the train.
