Fun coincidence, sure, he could drop by and check up on him if you'd liked. I don't know the first thing about racing, so I'd honestly need you to set the scene.


I'm thinking an outside encounter like at a restaurant or coffee shop in Ft. Worth

He's got a delightfully expressive face. The problem I have is I keep picking politicians from the 80s and 90s (Merriam - Ferraro, Simone - Bottomley) so it's hard to get pictures of them outside of their antiquated timeframe.

I tend to go to List of Members of the House of Representatives wiki page (Or Governors, or Senators, or Whatever), sort by age, and look to see if any of them that are of a similar age fit the idea I have for the character

Diehl and Sullivan should definitely get nicknames, don’t know if Spellman is big enough yet.

I think Maggie de Block as Brookshire is iconic.

And Abernathy and Diehl both fit pretty well.

Sullivan maybe should have been a bit different but astronauts are hard to find. And ruler is funny.

Its lengthy but the Bill basically invests in new startups with potential for a lot of economic activity and provide a lot of jobs. Let me know if you're interested in being a co-sponsor!!!


Senators Dayton alongside Congresswoman Lowell will cosponsor.

Frankston will vote for it but not cosponsor.

i abandoned my "use Australian politicians only" goal after Dayton coz it's impossible to find good campaign pics of them unless they've actually become PM or Oppo Leader and Puert stole the only potential model :(

My character model for Greg Morton (from Washington) I found by typing in “old man in nice suit”

:rofl:

You must try to be simple if specificity leads you to obsess over the perfect pic. There is no perfect pic.

Skimming through the old IC to try to assemble the timeline, it's amusing to see the multitude of ways people misspelled Prendergast.
