    I remember when the Texas Lone Star Rail project between Austin and San Antonio finally got “fully funded.” I was in college taking a transportation systems course, and one of our guest speakers was the director of the project.

    I realized how doomed we were when I found out she was the only employee of the project and only worked 20 hours a week - almost all of which was speaking engagements.
