GOD DAMNEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN

For the first time in my life I have money bet on a NASCAR race. I, like every fan in America, tuned in to watch it Sunday, but it was rained out for the first time EVER. Then it was rescheduled for today at noon, but rain again postponed it until tonight at seven o'clock. 
Now toward the end of the race something happened that has never happened before. All the announcers are saying it's the damnedest thing they have ever seen.
On a caution flag (meaning no racing) a car lost control at low speed and crashed into the back of a truck that was drying the track with.....wait for it.........wait........JET FUEL!
Yeah, you can imagine the rest.
Maybe the gambling gods are trying to tell me something.


I must admit that I have never watched an entire NASCAR race, but there aren't any other sports on TV. Basketball? Pleeeez. Even Asians can excel at basketball.


I have found that if you just wager a few bucks, any event gets much, much more interesting. But I think I may have jinxed the entire sport irreparably. It just wasn't meant to be.


Additionally, my mural partner, who has been on many roadtrips with me, sent me an email tonight.
It said, "Attached is a song I wrote some time ago, but recently recorded. I played it for you that evening after a hard day of muralizing last May. It's called "Carwash For Jesus". Regrettably, I was unable to upload the sound track, but I liked it very much.


This may give you some idea about why I prefer the company of young creative people over old farts set in their ways. And I mean that sincerely.
