[Leica] Monday Misc.

[Don Dory]

Greetings to all.  Last week the LBJ library hosted a educational gathering
on the nuclear industry in Texas partially sponsored by ret. Sen. Kay
Bailey Hutchinson's non-profit.  I won't bore you with the speaker
particulars but instead present some vignettes out of the attendee's.
First we have a friend of mine mocking me taking another picture of him:

This man's craggy features just appealed to me:

I always try to include the behind the scenes folk who make the front of
the house look good:

This woman looks nothing like my grandmother but her bearing and choice of
clothes brings back fond memories:

Recognizing the importance of Lady Bird to LBJ's ability to govern this man
was next to a large mural of a young Lady Bird:

I didn't know it at the time but this woman is a lobbyist for the nuclear
industry action group in Texas:

For clarification, Texas is working very hard to develop small nuclear
reactors (think pick up size).  The Leg allocated a significant amount of
money for seeding early manufacture, there is a prototype up and running at
one of the UT system campuses in north Texas.  There is a beta reactor
testing here in Austin in conjunction with fast tracking manufacturing
capability.

All the best.
