The man in the fancy Stetson is Richard Petty, one of the greats of NASCAR. He's like ... well, you could say that Richard Petty is to racing what Asimov is to SF.

Hi Rose! I'm enjoying a cup of "Sleepytime" before I hit the hay.

So a guy who was pretty good fifty years ago but in general is highly overrated?

Just kidding. I like Asimov's stuff, I just don't consider him more than in the top ten... But thanks for explaining who the racecar guy was.

Was he signing a hat for the President, or was the President signing the hat for him?

And I'd better get to bed... read a little, then lights out...
