A brief personal note. I (Bruce) had the honor of serving under President George H W Bush. The eulogies and stories we heard today have reminded me of how powerful it is to serve under a leader who is truly humble, yet very aware of the weight they carry with our help. Today was his memorial service. He was from a time when bipartisanship was still possible in ways that we have devolved away from. Here’ hoping we find our way back.
– Thank you, Mr. President
Our show today is about some very personal choices we all make, often one of the two or three most expensive choices we make. Our automobiles.
So, what were some highlights and references?
