Chimichaunga cheesy burrito-
Greetings from Casa Dos Gatos. Did I tell you I found a rental in Costa Rica called Casa Dos Gatos? Really good-looking place. If we ever get unburied from all this debt, it might be fun.
Really enjoyed “A Prairie Home Companion”. I like Robert Altman’s feel. The films are always so busy. I was looking at a list of what he’s done that I’ve seen and they all are movies I want to watch again. MASH, Nashville, The Player, Ready To Wear, Prairie Home Companion, even Popeye (I really enjoy Popeye). By the way, I’ve looked about four places, including the library and it’s beginning to appear that there’s not a copy of “Nashville” to be found in Marion, We’ll see what turns up.
Beers Of The World Crab Racing this week. Regulation size board, also referred to as “tournament size” in Great Britain. Plenty of room for race row participants to spread out. Small crowd after the bye week. Sonny got a ‘bulk’ deal on some giganomous Crabs. I’m afraid that any run at the 75 minute mark is going to have a ‘Barry Bonds’ asterisk next to it from now on. It looked like the New Crabs on the Board were going to dominate, winning six of eight in the first half. But the old guys took all but one in the second half to make it nine to seven. The Semis ended up with three originals and one SC Crab.
It was Craig’s Birthday Eve, so there was cake. Notably absent were Dr. Carl and Nurse Holly. Combine that with Old School Nikki doing a no-show and you get beaten asses (see race ten). Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner Josh Hyde got there in time to race. I think he finally got over that traumatic ‘Finish first-second one week and get shut out the next’ deally. It was good to have him back. Facial Shot Racing had four on the west side of Race Row. Next to them were Richard and Cheryl. Then Heather, Mark, Jim, and Brenda. Andrea had a couple of friends at the FSR table to my left, although she skated early in the evening, never to be seen again. Steve spent most of the evening behind the bar, Nelia was back there too. Rhonda was on the floor. The Original Sarah had the table in the corner to Sonny’s right with Craig, Jon and Becky Marler, and a couple of friends. She also provided the bulk of the Pre-Race music. It went like this-

I know that at least one of the Preliminary Heats is wrong. Somehow #19 showed up in the First Semifinal. But the Final Four Crabs are as they were (or were as they are).
Thanx for picking up the Zapper. It’s really weird, I can stuff like a Self-Twirling Spaghetti Fork. But a piece of genius like the Christmas Light Zapper is nowhere to be found!
Time to put this one to bed. We’ll have to get together this weekend. I picked up a copy of “Thank You For Smoking”. Let me know if you have any spare time and we’ll watch it.
Until then- If it’s Wednesday, it’s wacing.
Ciao
