Confirmed heathen
Fond of things that make noise melodically, people/instruments/machines. Also fond of diminutive cars, give me 110 hp, manual transmission and 2200 lbs on the scale.

Oh dear, the 13 Corvette is experiencing great difficulties. Damn shame the misfortune that has struck some very good race teams.

Okay, apparently the 6 is just glueing pieces back onto the car, and they’re about to test those gorilla glue bonding claims.

Has the 10 luck-boxed their way into a legit third place at the moment. Pretty consistently seventh place most of the race.

Real respect for the way the Heart Of Racing team has stayed after it ceaselessly to keep the Valkyrie in the race. Really unfortunate start to the event. 18 laps down is a heartbreaker and yet still they persist.
GTD effort pretty consistently in the top five so they’ve got that going for them.

GTD Pro has been fun to watch, 1-3-4-65 have been going at it hard from the drop of the flag, hopefully the 64 and 9 can find a way back in. Guessing the Pfaff suffered with deeper brake issues. Somehow missed the difficulty that set the 64 Mustang back a couple of laps.

So we’re averaging about four minutes of race viewing per hour of coverage at this point?

When most things in the garden have called it a day the Mahonia is just getting started. This shot taken two days ago. When we get the occasional warmer day, as GA will do, this plant will be covered in bees looking for a Winter treat. This one is currently about 6’ tall with four of these clusters.

Seeing Alien, by myself, not very crowded, strange town (work). I nearly shat myself and kid-you-not I watched at least a third of the movie through spread fingers over my eyes as if I was five years old once again. Honorable mentions; Star Wars, Le Mans and a midnight premiere of Pulp Fiction.
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

The Falcons (my hometown team) have a bunch of morons for coaches and a pusscatore for a quarterback (no I’m not talking about Kurt). They’re horrible at clock management, play calling, and don’t know how to counter the opponent strengths.
They give good interviews.

Still haven’t really gotten past the loss of Karl Wallinger. For a boy that grew up 40 miles from Liverpool and clearly had a deep love for all things Beatles, he absorbed so much from the world of music, using it to express himself in ways both unique and familiar. Wonderful work, worth a listen.

Are we past the ‘half the starters no longer in the game’ point? Hate to see this end on an outfield error by a bench player.

Incredible week of racing in the Tour de France starting w/ the Time Trial, continuing w/ relentless racing into the mountains and finishing the week with the absolute frantic madness of today’s stage going into the final rest day. Props to Quinn Simmons (US Champ) for great performances daily.

Murderbot on Apple TV is the best show I’ve seen this year. If it looks interesting to you it probably will be.
This was the case for me but I found it to be so far beyond anything I expected. Sarcastic, irreverent and a lot of fun.
Or ignore this completely and carry on.

The Plumbago wants hot weather and in the right climate (Miami, South Africa, can become a six foot high shrub. Here’s a photograph posted by Doris of the beautiful small flowers that grow in clusters on the plant. Mine has to live in a large pot and come indoors for Winter but handles it well.

Anyone watching Goodwood footage?
I’m wondering if the prototype GTs Toyota brought are based on the Lexus LFA chassis?

Still thinking a little about these moments from Grand Prix viewing Saturday and I hadn’t noticed these before in quite the same way. Too busy watching cars. The opening with the old Monaco course is really good. Tabac to final corners section was straight and wide blvd with plenty of racing room.

In the ‘Take it to the max!’ department is that Lime Rock Park was built by a few guys for racing MGs and ends up hosting races for IMSA GTP.
Great track for the trucks. MX-5 race comes to mind. Accompanying photo is definitely not a G-Production class MG. Those IMSA races were awesome.

So is NASCAR currently imploding on about a half-dozen different fronts? Did we pass some unrecoverable tipping point because there’s a ton of crazy ish going on right now in and around the sport and none of it looks like racing or anything productive.

Watching a Ward Burton interview and remembering Jeff saying Ward would walk off into the woods for a month and come back having gained weight. Ward looks good and sounds . . . well, like Ward. The man is just unbothered. By anything.

Grand Prix is on TCM and it’s striking to see the difference in speed as cars top the hill into the left-right of Casino Square. The ‘60s cars almost appear to doodle into the left hander. Even ‘80s machinery came through that section blisteringly fast.
