Yes, Roush has a lot of soul-searching to do. They need to do a serious post-mortem on this season to figure out what's gone wrong.

I hate to say it but I'm thinking Jimmie's got it locked up again. I like him and all, but I tend to root for the underdogs anyway. That's why I'd like Martin to get in there.

I kinda' favor Biffle too, (and this might be wrong of me) mainly because he was so "helpful" in showing the young punk Logano the proper "etiquette" to racing. LOL. smirk

(I guess I don't appreciate these hotshot rookies who show no respect, they remind me too much of how Gordon got to be so controversial. Snot-nosed punks. Biffle was the same once upon a time, but he had his own "training" to get him in line.)

My kids like Junior mainly because he's the son of the 'timidator. I wish he'd just get his act together, but I don't say anything to S8 and S4.

...

I know what you mean about the cost of making a trip. I've only got a 3-hour drive, but the gas and hotel costs, even with corporate discounts, are going to mean a lean month for me. (Not to mention Halloween coming up real soon -- costume prices alone are ridiculous, and for what? Some superficial, flimsy bit of cloth that my kids might wear but once?)

Lots of peanut butter and other cheap meals for us the next couple of paydays. But I see this as a mini-vacation, a consolation prize for not being able to take a proper full week of time at some big theme park or other tourist destination. And like I said, my two love cars.

But enough about racing.

...

Try not to dwell on the anniversary, Dylan. I know that's easier said than done (believe me, I do.) Find some other thing to insert as an event for this weekend, some special activity for you yourself -- make it your own.
