Jim, As always loved your most recent essays, even though it makes me feel a little guilty about moving into your neighborhood ... (Am I part of the problem?). Check the cut line on the pic of the Ford Mustang Assembly line. I assume 1957 is a typo...Should that be 1967?
This is wonderful, Jim. About Austin, I mean! The part about Abbot is well-written too but he sucks. My sister Mary (@Farrout_Mary on Twitter) has paid you the highest compliment by not only loving the lightbulb joke but also telling me that "I can almost hear Teresa talking too." As you probably know, my late sister T. was forever the quintessential Austinite (https://jhfarr.substack.com/p/be-yourself).
To my sensibilities you are writing better than ever these days. I will have to catch up. Love the hat in your new Twitter pic, also.
