>> IT IS OFFICIALLY AUGUST IN TEXAS SO HERE WE ARE.

>> COMMISSIONER ARTHUR. >> SAME THING.

PEOPLE LOOK OUT FOR ROAD WORKERS.

WE ARE SHOOTING PRIME OIL TODAY ON THE FIRST STRETCH OF THIST WHICH IS THREE MILES AND I SURELY HOPE EVERYBODY WILL LISTEN TO THE WORK RTION. WE'VE GOT SOMEONE LITERALLY ON EVERY INTERSECTION OF THE ROAD TRYING TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM DRIVING DOWN IT BECAUSE IF THEY GO OVER 5 MAILES AN HOUR THEY WON'T GET IT OFF OF THEIR CAR AND DRIVEWAY AND THE GARAGE.
