Here Comes the Rain Again....

Annie Lennox said it...and it is true. Raining here in Talladega. Lots of green on the radar. Looks like it breaks up on the east side of Alabama, so it is too early to tell if we'll have racing today or not. We are making contingency plans about staying tomorrow. The amazing thing about Talladega is that is could be raining on one end of the track and dry on the other end. And if the track gets wet, that's two miles of track to be dried...no easy task. If it does get going today, I am predicting a first time win for Tony Stewart...there really is no way to predict this race since The Big One always happens and it is comes down to being in the right place at the right time not to get mixed up in it.
I saw a great new show on Discovery Channel last night. I think it was call Alaska Adventure. It is four groups of people, either couples or 3 people together, who are in Alaska roughing it for 3 months. Last night they had to find their cabins/shelters after a hike through rough terrain. Fishing for salmon, getting water from streams, cutting their own firewood, scaring away bears...
Great reality show if you like outdoors/survival type programming. I am a big Discovery watcher. I can watch hours of Deadliest Catch, Survivorman and Man vs. Wild...now I have a new one...yea!
Seriously, Dad...get a dish and watch this stuff on the new tv.
I'll update you on track conditions as soon as we know more...now back to your originally scheduled programming.

No dish. A nice plate of curry and a mango-lassi would be good.
