Finished this out. Pros: actually made me feel pretty good about being a Texan. Cons: Spent way too much time on the 2017 legislative session. Also, the author is clearly Texas-lefty, but he seems just a little too forgiving of the Bush family. But, he's really (and rightfully) critical of Dan Patrick. Best part: It ends with a scene in Terlingua and Big Bend! Yay!
