I drove past this between Salida and Cotopaxi on State Highway 50 in Colorado. I had to turn around and tell whoever that I stood with them totally assuming I was correct. I was and got the biggest hug of appreciation for doing so.

From my understanding, there are close to 3000 children being held around this country after being seized from their parents at the border.

Many will never see their Mom and Dad again because Republicans are totally evil.

You bastards!

What Does This Have To Do With Pork?

Yea they have problems on the track but it just didn't start and there's more to this than just rather piss-poor racing. Briefly Nascar has fined two drivers for remarks about the sport they made that were not positive. No names cuz there's an image to uphold ya know. Touched on this issue some time ago because this is about corporations and how they screw things up. Bottom line in this case these boys and a girl or two I think as I pay no attention any more just want to race. That's what it's all about. Stick the restrictor plates where the sun don't shine! But no that's not good for the bottom line so we get super shitty racing at least to me.

Ever been to a National drag racing event? If not take my word and spend 60 smackers or so and for once in your life see one. Go on Saturday not for the finals on Sunday because it's nonstop bracket racing on Saturday.

Weekend before last the Mile Hi Nationals were held in Denver. A couple years ago a driver in a Top Fuel dragster was killed in a crash not at this track but another. You get killed in racing that's just the way it can be and they all know that. What do they do but change the rules to help the image. A 1/4 mile is just that. 1320 feet not 1000 like it is now. I want my 320 feet back dammit. The slower classes may still run the full length I'm not sure. I hope some are-after all a drag race is for a quarter mile.

Even at a 1000' and over a mile in altitude the big boys were going through the traps at 320mph. Go see what that looks like. Before you hear them they're half way down the track.

Fly's one for one in this sport. One event one trophy back in '71 or '72. Went through the lights at 106mph with a time of 14.16 sec.and in third gear. This was a mid 12 second car but entered just for the hell of it. You have a car that will turn a 14 sec. quarter mile you have a very fast car. It was a 64 Chevelle with a 327 with close to 400HP. Never got beat in this car. Did I mention I was a Chevy man?

On to the pork. I'm pissed off at the food I get served because 9.5 times out of 10 it's gonna suck a hind teat. Corporations as you know have their paws all over farming and animal mass production for consumption. Pork is so lean and so genetically engineered it has lost its flavor as has many other foods we consume animal and vegetable.

 You can't live in the past but every once in a while I'd like some of the real thing for a change.

  1. Couple of small items.
    I love Chevy's. My car is 20 years old. I wouldn't trade it for the world. Been a Chevy fan since the Days of old Dina Shore. You no, see the U.S.A. in a Chevrolet.
    Next item, Meat today sucks. I can't remember when I had beef that tasted like beef. What's up with yellow chickens? What the hell has pork morphed into to? I eat a lot of salads these days...;)

  2. I drive a Honda now and have had a couple others. Cars are better but not the food. If I was rich there would be several very hot old Chevy's around!
