Bush's new nickname for Cheney: Birdshot

Or that could be his new Secret Service code name

Bad weather coming your way. I was caught in a nasty hail storm today, and I was on the highway! I've never heard pounding like that in the car.

[BigSkyFreeper]

This is alot more fun to watch than the halfpipe.

[Miss Marple]

Central Indiana!!! It was almost 60 degrees today, but tomorrow the high is supposed to be 32. Also snow coming.

You have to be TOUGH to live in the Midwest, let me tell you!

[Purrcival]

Oooooookay. Sounds interesting. Will have to stay up late to watch.

[Jrabbit]

I agree....go fast, jump high, push and shove and cross the line. I get this!

[mass55th]

I wonder when Revlon will hire him.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Ten below here for a high in NE Montana tomorrow. Looks like this system here is slowly going to move east, right along the jetstream.

I think I like this better than downhill skiing, which I have always followed (ever since the legendary gold medal run of Austria's Franz Klammer).

I like that there are multiple people on the course at once.

[Jrabbit]

I was born in Lafayette! Dad went to Perdue.

Texas used to have the weather you're getting. I remember growing up in Dallas all the snow we used to get and tornados....now it's just boring. LOL

[Purrcival]

I used to not like NASCAR. Thought it was just guys in cars going around in circles. Hubby watches the races every weekend, so I sat down to watch with him a few times. Now I'm starting to know the racers...the numbers on their cars...their sponsors...which ones are cool and which ones are hothead whiners (Tony Stewart has settle down, though, to his credit). Scary.

Is that an actual ad for Maybelline??

[Purrcival]

At least Rudy Galindo is NICE, and he's not a prima donna. I actually like the guy.

[Miss Marple]

We haven't had boring in a long time. In fact, three years ago we had a September tornado hit my neighborhood about 4 houses north of us.

OK...Skeleton! And, of course, we have to talk about an unmarried competitor expecting a baby!!

[mass55th]

Central New York here. We're supposed to go down to 11 overnight, then have a high of 41 and rain mixed with snow. Saturday snow with a low of 3. Sunday, a low of 8 and for now, it's supposed to be partly cloudy, but I'm sure they'll change it to snow. We rarely have more than one day a week of sunshine.

[BigSkyFreeper]

I don't follow NASCAR, but I tell my cousins who are diehard NASCAR fans that I like Jeff Gordon, just to get a chuckle.

[Purrcival]

Yes, the Daytona 500 is this weekend. He's not lying to you :-)

I think it's always Presidents' Day weekend, isn't it?

[Jrabbit]

What suicide sport is this?

[BigSkyFreeper]

It was 38 above in Reno last night. That's getting pretty cold!

LOL
Consider yourself hooked.
NASCAR is worse than dope, I guess?

Same with baseball, slow boring game.
But when something happens it is blinding quick.

Watch a few MLB games and you will be hooked on them too.
