The mention of Lady Bird allows me to bring up my favourite LBJ fact, it’s a sign of a whopping ego that’s for sure

Lyndon Baines Johnson, LBJ used those initials for everyone in his family

Lady Bird Johnson (wife)

Lynda Bird Johnson & Luci Baines Johnson (daughters)

And my favourite of all, naming his dog Little Beagle Johnson

A psychiatrist could have a field day with that

Cars have got safer and safer with more and more crash protection systems but speed limits have not increased, weirdly I haven’t even seen a serious push for one, I do wonder if there is room for a populist push on this issue

Safer for those in the car, obviously. Not so much for pedestrians.
