I’ve been involved in high speed rail, specifically this project. We developed a system that could weld the track sections (NOT an easy task) and then we got involved in some ONR stuff as a result, and it all sort of disapeared.

Look, people, High Speed Rail isn’t going to work in this country. We were built on individual transport, and individual transport is what we want. There are a lot of people who wish for rail, but they’re clearly more interested in the romance of it than the reality of it. The reality of it, is that it’s never going to profit, and it’s never going to be anything but an infrastructure cash sink.

croaked yesterday, but since I’m not gay, I’m not gonna make a big deal of it.

never was a huge fan, she was too damned whiney in Velvet and too annoying in Father of the Bride; She had great acting chops but give me Kim Novak any day. ms Novak, at seventy eight, is still moderately easy on the eyes, she aged well, like Diana Rigg. Plus Novak had that sort of sultry look, and a keister that wouldn’t quit. The clothes she wore in Bell, book, and candle are still a source of sleepless nights for me.

God keep ms Taylor, but for me, I could care less.
