“[Lyndon Johnson] would take them on tours [of his ranch], gunning his big car down rutted dirt paths or across fields at speeds which kept the occupants jouncing in the seats.

I just got this in the mail from the very kind Mr. Ted Travelstead and it’s the funniest book ever and I laughed so hard I died. I recommend you get a copy from your local Amazon dot com.

I love this.
