That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
but for the most part it's made up for in the layout. Miller and his design team built the track with historic and vintage sportscars in mind too.It's a great layout. And not a lot to hit if you go off track which always seemed like a good thing when you have the historics and vintage cars zooming around.

I'm starting to look for cool and unusual earrings already at some of the more eclectic boutiques for Xmas gifts for both Kris and Courtney, and maybe Mom as well.
Look for (or check ebay) for earrings made from silverware. My parents buy me 99% of my earrings, and I have 3 pair made from spoon handles that are just awesome. They are from a local craftsman at their farmer's market, but I'm sure others have thought of it.

Ooh! I have a pair of those! I love them, but they're really heavy. I can only wear them for a little while.

Oh yes! Another reason to like the track say in comparison to a place like Road America/Elkhart Lake where you're completely surrounded by concrete. It also makes for some hliarity as anytime someone goes off track even a tidge, you know as a cloud of dust enters the air. It's always nice to have an entire race weekend without physical carnage just your typical mechanical variety. Though I did get a slap on the wrist for a little exchange of rubbber. Ooops!

Mine are fairly light, so I'm guessing they are made from smaller spoons. But I've worn seriously heavy earrings, so my gauge may be a little different, The heaviest are 2 inch oneida silver columns with a sort of simplistic ear of corn design. They are so slender they had to be from baby spoons or sugar bowl. One pair is a rather large intricate openwork (large spoon handle size, but light,) and the other is just the flare of the handle, silver, probably an inch high with a quartz stone set in the center.

That's what I said. Besides, I was the only one with damage to my car, and he totally deserved a lesson too. I bought him a beer afterwards, and everything was fine. He even wrote a little homage to me on his car, which reminds me I need to get a picture of that framed.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Airstream, does your post about your small living quarters mean you are going to be living in an actual Airstream trailer?

Airstream, does your post about your small living quarters mean you are going to be living in an actual Airstream trailer?Indeed. The Airstream and I are hitting the road for six months, then I'm moving to an as-of-yet undecided location (either Vancouver or Louisville, KY) for grad school. And, I'll probably live in the trailer for awhile before I decide on a place/area to live or just live in it permanently.
