I didn't know Kristen was a race person too.
Hey, neither did I. It's AWESOME!
JP also won the Busch Series race in Mexico City earlier this year. But this was his first Nextel Cup win.
Yes, but this gets him more cred. And, in the record books, it's an important distinction. I mean, I liked the Busch win, but this one matters on the technicalities more.
Next up: he needs to win on an oval.
Kinda thinking it's gonna happen. Maybe not this year. Because I'm not positive that Ganassi's got the package for that this year. Today leaned a lot on the fact that JPM is just wickedly awesome on road courses and plays kinda dirty. Which works in Cup. So long as everybody doesn't decide they want to wreck him every week...
Okay, Kristen knows racing. I am gonna happily boggle at this for a moment.
It's the legacy of my time on DRIVE. (That and an addiction to Special K Bars.) I tuned in to the race at Fontana to see our cast there and got completely sucked in by all the engineering.

I think that, until he wins on an oval, he's going to be a little low on cred. Given that his two wins were on road courses and, until today, he's never led a lap. It's an impressive showing for a rookie year but I sense he'll be carrying that open wheel driver baggage with him for a little longer.

I think the other teams are going to start catching up with Hendricks and Chevy soon. Though I'm curious to see what shakes down this week with the Gordon and Johnson teams. Unlike the violation with Junior's team a few weeks back, it seems clear that these teams were intentionally trying to work the system to their advantage. It makes me wonder if NASCAR is going to be extra hard on them because of it.
Bob says that he is always available in a philosophy emergency.
Aw! She's a lawyer, he's a freelance philosopher. Together they fight corporate crime and existential crises! (Plus, it's a feel-good romance!)
So, I got to work early and dressed up, because there's a board meeting. A meeting, BTW, I have nothing to do with, but my boss wants to make sure our department looks good. Anyway, the point is, I sat down, and thought my zipper was undone on my pants, but no! It was the actual seam
next to
the zipper that came out! WTF, dry cleaners? Luckily, I had a safety pin in my bag.
Oh, great. The building next to ours (Century 21) has been evacuated due to a bomb threat.
That's no way to start a Monday. Are you guys being evacuated, too?
They're letting people back in now.
FNL DVD news!
Bad news: it's coming out on the same day as Heroes BUT it's really, really cheap: $29.98 for a 22-episode set.
A whole bunch of pretty and/or bizarre insects: [link]
Lots o' pretty and strange caterpillars. And some mantises (manti?) that look very much like flowers. Some I had to stare at to figure out what part of the bug was where. And there's this cool fact:
Amazing Caterpillar Fact:
Faecal Firing: Some leaf-rolling caterpillars fire faecal pellets from their anuses... be careful out there.
