You might be thinking of Dale Earnhardt who died at that race in 2001.
Junior has been racing in the series since 2000. Never retired.
Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Huh, I saw a headline today or yesterday about Earnhardt and Danica.

Oh, yeah. His was a gem of old-fashioned insulting insight. I'd honestly forgotten about that but it's totally been news.
Danica isn't a great driver but she's a decent to good driver and she brings a hell of a lot of attention to the sport with her distinctive image. Much like Richard Petty and his iconic image of the ornate cowboy hat and sunglasses. Given that it's a business first and a sport second, marketing matters. She brings viewers.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I know that feeling so well Cass, that bittersweet feeling of sharing something with someone who is gone. I'm glad your dad's guy won.
I am feeling ugh. I was totally having a good weekend food-wise, then things got needlessly stressful and here I am downing candy and pretending to grade.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
that bittersweet feeling of sharing something with someone who is gone.
Oh yes. I'm glad you got that, Cass.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Came home to a pile of poop on the bed from one cat. The other one just deposited some turds on the sofa. I give up on today.

Came in to work to find there are company-wide internet issues. Can't connect to supplier sites, company benefit sites, etc. I tried to visit my bank's site - blocked, hit a link to something on Amazon - blocked, thought, "Wow, gonna be a boring day without being able to check in on Buffistas." - not blocked! Clearly I'm meant to be here! Buffistas are approved!
Erin, sorry about the unexpected "gifts". Furry roommates can be so difficult sometimes.

There was an Irish short story I read as a kid. An old saint buys a (I think) bullock. At any rate his conscience starts bothering him because he thinks he paid too little. Meanwhile the seller's conscience bothers him because he thinks he charged too much. So the two seek each other out with the seller trying to give money back and the buyer trying to pay extra money. Cannot remember title or author or even for certain whether it was a short story or short play. Anyway, if you happen to know what I'm referring to, please ...
