Once upon a time, when I would run down at town lake, here in Austin, I would see here walking with a friend or two.

And everyone that passed her would say something along the lines of, "we miss you Anne!", "we love you Anne", "hope your having a great day Anne", "please run again Anne" or just the plain old, "Howdy, Anne!". And she would always answer, a howdy back, give a chuckle or a "I miss you too!"

She was just such a fine Woman. too good for the likes of the mouth breathers that inhabit the Texas government now.

She was the last bit of grace in this state.

We are inclined to believe that in the end good will rule the day.
Ann Richards would be reassuring us all in 2016 that this belief will hold true.
