This weekend Austin is going to "host" the annual Republic of Texas biker rally. Hmmmm . . . triple digit temperatures and black leathers . . . what a combination!
Basically it means a bunch of motorcyclists with loud bikes will cruise around Austin and the surrounding area, get drunk, a few will get splattered on the road, and then leave. No big deal for most folks, happens every year.
Of course, they always talk about how much money this brings into the area, benefitting everyone in town . . . they keep repeating this, but
never tell me where I should go to get
my share.
(Some bar selling more beer does me about as much good as Bill Gates selling more copies of Windows Vista.)
