TRB and other things

I guess, since my blog is now accessible by TRB posters, I should give those who migrate here something to read. It has been a long time since I even considered blogging. Now TRB may push me into being serious about it!

The weather today was ugly at times. I missed most of the NASCAR pre-race stuff because when it rains really hard, I lose my satellite reception. The thunderstorms were loud and wet, but cleared up before the race started thank goodness. I did get to see Jeff Gordon (My #1 Favorite Driver) interviewed. Missed the interview of Brian Vickers (#2 Favorite Driver) after he was crashed out in the mess started by Ryan Newman and Jeff Green. Why, oh why was Newman driving like it was the last lap of the last race?

Think I'll watch some news this week - I've been trying to not do so because I get so angry at the politicians who are treating our soldiers like ping pong balls and toys while those brave young people are dying or coming home badly injured physically or mentally.

Pray for the men and women who are in harm's way in the illegal war in Iraq or the war for freedom in Afghanistan.
