It's just been announced F1 racing is coming to Austin. Unless the treehuggers ruin it for everyone this maybe the only chance this city really gets to become world class. I still can't believe it Formula One in Austin.
The only place to build a track would be the East Side, if you live on the East side of Austin, do not complain you may know be lucky enough to make money on your property and get out of town. Win win.

Gary's Dragon Arum, Voodoo Lily, Dragon Flower, Black Lily (Dracunculus vulgaris)
Dracunculus vulgaris is a species of aroid in the genus Dracunculus and is known variously as the Dragon Arum, the Black Arum, the Voodoo Lily, the Snake Lily, the Stink Lily, the Black Dragon, Dragonwort, and Ragons. In Greece, part of its native range, the plant is called Drakondia, the long spadex being viewed as a small dragon hiding in the spathe.[1]
It is native to the Balkans, extending as far as Greece, Crete and the Aegean Islands, and also to the south-western parts of Anatolia.[1]. It has been introduced to the United States and is currently present in the states of Oregon, California and Tennessee as well as the commonwealth of Puerto Rico.[2]
The species is characterised by a large purple spathe and spadix has a very unpleasant smell reminiscent of a carcass. That is because the pollinators of this aroid are flies (Lucilia and others).
