Lotta fat people came to town.

By my recollection, most ROT Rally fatalties were out near Decker Lane, but I give that one dude a lot of credit for the Mopac flyover move.

Rolling out in your new leather vest on your new $30K bike and taking off Friday from your low/mid-level white collar job is serious business.

Man, the amount of Escalades towing hogs to town was quite hilarious.  I felt like there were a lot of upper echelon exec and Dr. types that came to town to pretend to be bikers for the weekend.  Roll that Harley off the trailer with less than a dozen miles on it, only to wreck it because you've got no experience on it, especially on the gravel lots out at Travis County Expo Center.

Man stole Lego sets from Toy Joy, threatened to shoot employee: APD

AUSTIN, Texas - The Austin Police Department is looking for a man they say stole several Lego sets from a North Austin toy store and threatened to shoot an employee.

What we know:

APD says the incident happened at around 8:20 p.m. on March 6 at the Toy Joy store on Burnet Road.

A man stole several boxes of Lego building sets, and police say when an employee tried to stop him, he threatened to shoot them.

Austin police have released photos and a description of the suspect.

He is described as a Middle Eastern male between 30 and 40 years old and between 5'7" to 5'8" tall with a medium build. He also has black hair and a full beard.

He was last seen wearing a black mid-length leather jacket, black jeans or pants, and black shoes.

Whomever runs against Garza needs to plaster this on every flat surface across the city.

So the tapeworm will get 60% of the vote next time instead of 70%.  He's not going anywhere. Never underestimate the idiocy of the local electorate.

Garza probably won't be sending Tony Plohetski a Christmas card. He blew the lid off all this mismanagement. Even though it's not going to matter, good reporting is still good reporting. Plohetski is among the best.

It seemed like you could count on at least one per day, average, during that week every year. 

FIFY. 

You'd see fatalities all over. The Hill Country was also a popular spot for some's last destination.  A few pops plus out-of-towners on two wheels not knowing the roads = done.

These were e-bikes from all over Texas.  They had a big meetup here in Austin.

From a friend:

So, my sources at APD shared the topic of their Monday morning team meetings was e-bikes , unlicensed vehicles on the road and bicycle safety, expect the police to be paying more attention to everybody on two wheels after that huge E bike fiasco over the weekend, I believe the days of Moto kids running wild in the streets are over

When I worked at Brackenridge Hospital back in the day it was always an all hands on deck week for the ER.  We had a crotchety old doc who ran the ER back then. Dude had been an ER doc for so long that he was on shift at Parkland when they brought Kennedy in.  I was working on a PC in the ER and this woman was hollering and carrying on in one of the ER bays and the nurses couldn't get her settled down.  This dude comes storming out of one of the other bays and walks in and starts yelling at her to STFU. It's not an exact quote but something to the effect of "you should have thought about that before you got on a donor cycle with a drunk.  You're lucky, at least you're still alive.  The idiot you were riding with is having his vital organs removed right now for people who hopefully aren't morons".  It was pretty brutal.  I was like the Jesse drinking water gif from Breaking Bad.  One of the ER nurses sitting at the desk said "God, I love that man."
