The radio show I listen to on the drive in to work was talking about a bris and they mentioned something that made me think of Pretty Fly For a Rabbi by Weird Al. Something clicked about one of the lyrics in the song and it’s an incredible double entendre now that I know what he did

Are drivers just a lot worse these days, or do people just not care anymore?

Christian persecution in America is best defined by this image: No actual struggle, wearing clothes that cost more than my entire wardrobe, polished cross instead of rugged, and surrounded by crowds of fellow hypocrites cheering on bigotry who believe they're the victims.

A previous time I sealed my driveway I did a time lapse of it and posted it on the bird app and then @tufftitty.bsky.social added a song by Seal over it. I don’t have his version but here’s the original

Learned some stuff for the big race here in a month, and it’s always good to go to tech. Last year sucked for us and this year things are going much better. On the Monaco Tri Track series we are second in points with 2 races back, just within striking distance

Still forget to post racing stuff here Ran Thompson last night, small field but decent quality cars (13 total). Won heat on a pole shot based on draw, started 2nd. Both the start & 1 RS were on the bottom & fell to 4th. By the time we got back to 2nd it was too late to run down the leader

No problem! One thing I didn’t mention is you cannot take fuel on the same pit stop as you take tires. Only some of the longer races require a fuel stop, but Richmond is one of them
