I see Formula One is headed to Austin. Maybe if I wait long enough, the Atlantic Ocean will show up in my front yard?

Yup.

It was announced about a year ago, and the track construction is well underway.

Funny thing is, I am a big F1 fan, and have been to F1 races in North America and all over Europe, but I am not too sure that I want to spend 3-4 hours in the mid-June, 100 plus degree sun, to see a race in my home town. :?

Building an F1 track is a huge undertaking, but in comparison to getting the Atlantic to your front door, it seems pretty small.

Would you settle for extending one of the great lakes?
:? :lol:

About the same way you are looking forward to extended F1... but getting reliable internet would be good. 8-)

Also Coming To a Theater Near You: Texting in the local theater. This... uh, woman was escorted out, and called the theater back to express her displeasure. The theater, the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, put her diatribe up on YouTube. Have a listen - warning: Graphic Language! :lol: :oops: :lol:

You're making all the news!
