Yes you’re first - way to go :)

Unfortunately Jr can’t go until they figure out what’s up at HMS :( He’s been trying to race for two years now, to no avail - sadly. Hendrick just told everyone he will not change anything on the 88 for next year either. Thanks a bunch! ;p

Wilfrid Laurier figured it out in 1907. Americans still haven't got any idea what's wrong.

'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes a Canadian and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet a Canadian, and nothing but a Canadian...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is a Canadian, but something else also, isn't a Canadian at all. We have room for but one flag, the Canadian flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language.. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the Canadian people.' Wilfrid Laurier 1907

Richmond. Last chance for the chase. Little E is out. Jamie or Mark might have a long shot at the chase , at best. But only if Boyer crashes out early.

Ditches are full this morning, but only over the road in one spot between the office and the house.

One limb, one gate, power on and off last night.

Predictions here call for 1/4” of rain tonight and tomorrow. Should we evacuate now or wait until the booze is gone?

For some reason we measure our annual rainfall from July 1st to June 31st and this year we have received just 29%. Our normal for this period is .68” and we have had .19” to date...

We had that much while I was at lunch.

And I thought it was going to be done by now. No longer is the sky clearing, It’s building up like there’s another one coming.

You need to be sitting down for this one ST. I caught Wife reading the owners manual for her 3 month old Buick a minute ago and I asked why. She said it may rain and she needed to know how to run the windshield wipers. True story...

Well that far better than first time I drove a truck that didn’t have them on the dash. 60-70 mph, loaded truck, pulling a trailer and it started to rain. Almost had to stop until I found them by accident.

For a few minutes there I was thinking that it must not rain very often in Japan.

That one’s true too. :)

Whoa, what awesome graphics to start the thread.

Just this week an article in the NE bemoaned the fact that Americans dwell on 9-11 too much. I say we don’t dwell on it enough; we are at war and our mindset should be as such...

Anyway, looking forward to a great Saturday night race on “Patriot Day”.

That storm was a bugger - stayed in TS status all the way up here which is a record according to Cantore. tore down my porch stuff and battered the yard - but the electricity stayed on :) and that’s a good thing!

Far too many Americans view the events of 9/11/01 as little more than a TV show. Obviously the author of that article did not have to live with the smell from the WTC for a month afterward.

I’m sure if a mosque is built near the 9-11 site and a call to prayer is heard 3 times a day (the most beautiful sound in the world says “one”) w/a few kumbayas thrown in for good measure all will be well. /s/

Not going to ruin a great thread started by WCG...forecast for Saturday at Richmond is sunny w/83 as a high. Mulling drivers but w/o luck a stellar score is impossible. Rainy on the high desert this morning w/the pungent smell of Juniper in the air. Project today is to repair damage caused by a sage rat that got under the house. Nasty critters..cats are never around when you need one.

Every time I get my truck back from Toyota service, I add five pounds to each tar, otherwise, comma, invariably one of five of the low tar pressure alarms trigger when it rains, and I, for one, don’t like pulling off the side of the freeway at 0400 in the rain to flashlight the tars. Happens about once a year unless I’m diligent.

Not sure if I’m supposed to whistle, fart and/or make faces in your general direction.

I’ll let my attorney, the (less then) honorable, Mr. T.B., Esquire, handle all the legal documents, noises and other hoo-yahs necessary to fight your funkle as I’ve got another rat to take care after I don my asbestos mask and coveralls.
