Going to the race is like the Battan Death March with beer coolers. I'd much rather watch it in the comfort of my own home.

Oh, yeah, that`s totally true. All my hardcore Indy fans listen on the radio every year, with the newspaper so you can fill it out with lead changes and stuff. Well, most of them go, of course, but eveyone listens...and then you rewatch later when it comes on. We actually invited my father-in-law out to Kansas one year so he could watch it live on tv. Hee. Where we used to live was near Speedway so the race team folks used to stay in our apartment complex during May.
 
Yeah, it was a scary crash, and I thought the same thing you did about why they weren`t saying who it was.

I know!

Wait.

You mean that in a bad way?

To be fair, small tracks (and, really, no dirt tracks) do nothing for me and I want there to be a place I can get food and cool water. But the rest of it? I love.

I recognize it's a sickness but I don't wanna be cured. Wanna go racing.

and I thought the same thing you did about why they weren`t saying who it was.

Okay, so I wasn't necessarily overreacting then. They really weren't saying who it was for a while for whatever reason.

I mean, not to sound like Eliot Spencer but it was a very distinctive livery. You could see whose car it was. Well, that the pieces were.

Oh yeah, not overreacting at all. I knew who it was and I haven`t been following this year. And then they were bouncing around so much to victory lane that I hadn`t been able to see any movement in the cockpit myself. So when they weren`t saying who it was I was worried. I always breathe a sigh of relief when they get to the end with no major injuries and I thought maybe they weren`t saying so as not to taint the victory. It was scary. But they`re saying leg injury (probably a pretty bad leg injury I`d guess) but not life-threatening and he never passed out. When I saw that thing flipping I was worried for him and the other cars. It`s amazing a car can come apart like that and the driver be reasonably ok, but I guess it`s just doing what it`s supposed to, absorbing the shock.

I have never seen FtbYaM or Really Rosie.

I haven't seen either either, but we had the Really Rosie record when I was little, which means my parents likely still do. And I think an accompanying book. Carole King singing, Maurice Sendak illustrations, no?

We must have had a FtbYaM album because I know many of the songs. I think my brother saw it.

I'm sure there's some video thing, but I definitely think of them both as records.

Carole King singing, Maurice Sendak illustrations, no?

Yes.

Oh you guys! I saw a book for sale yesterday called "Carrots Love Tomatoes," and I all I could think was, Shouldn't that be "tomatoes like carrots"?
