Talk about a tragedy. It's all I can do to hold it together. How will I go on? /wink

Hey don't waste any emotional capital over my remark daddydoo. I'm truly sorry about the kid who drowned down there. Not concerned in the least about the loss of a NASCAR marketing arena. It'll get cleaned up and it's back to selling cock stiffeners (Viagra) and the beer to wash them down with. Go Dale!! YeeHaw.

Not just the kid BTW. No nascar fan here (I like F1 myself), but we got rolled pretty bad. Spent some time in the basement between the spiral clouds and light shows at our house which was not even close to the real amusement.

Upon entering the Speedway, all the tornado could do were left turns.
