    Merry Christmas & a Happy new year

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all! When I was a kid there were never any presents under the tree until Christmas morning...nothing but pine needles. Santa Claus is the one who brought the presents, not mom or dad. Obviously, a big deal to my dad to see the wonderment in our eyes...

    Public money and the "spectacle"

    are we forgetting something? I would like to know if those roads that host the races are roads paid for with TAX dollars from the public. If so, then that official already has his fee. The proper use of tax dollars is going to be a hot button especially with all the talk of austerity issues...

    Your occupation

    I send people all over the world through a non profit agency. They work in hospitals, orphanages, schools, water projects, etc. I was in a small cubicle but now am in an office with windows!! No promotion, someone left the department and I stayed late that night and got squatters rights.
