@SCDave.  Travis county commissioners continue to come up with impactful ways to spend their time.
"Travis County commissioners unanimously approved a pilot program May 21 that will provide free mass-transit passes to jurors to encourage a less expensive and more environmentally conscious transportation option. “This new project will further encourage jury service, support a positive customer experience and positively impact the environment by reducing car transportation,” according to a brief prepared by county staff."

Actually I don’t think that is so bad based on my jury experience there 4 years or so ago.  Parking is expensive and total hell for jurors.

I thought it wasn't a bad idea either but I'm a pinko.

The central Texas mass transit system is nothing like you're used to in the NYC area.  Routes, consistency, and geography result in poor utilization.  I doubt this effort will have much of an impact beyond having a response to potential jurors saying "I can't get there".

Bean is correct but me no pinko would have used it after my first day on the jury.

Sounds a bit pinko to me. Just sayin'.

I was stopped at a traffic light in Ocala on my way to the doctor this morning. yes, I was enjoying a nice cigar during the drive. a lady next to me put down her window and yelled at me telling me that smoking was hazardous for me and everybody else in the world. I told her "so is not minding your own business".

Do you ever actually go to a ballpark to watch a baseball game?

Occasionally but not as much as I used to.  We have a good small college team here and a 2A Minor League Team 10 minutes away.  Plan on going to a Braves game in the fall.

I make it to one or two RR Express (3A) games, usually early in the season as it's too damn hot/humid even by now.  The seating areas do not get a breeze and it gets stifling.  Plus between the parking and the concessions you need a home equity loan to enjoy yourself.
