Three Women Driving Fast

Quote of the day:
“Before sleeping together today, people should boil themselves.”
--Richard Lewis

Quote of the day no. 2:
“A tremendous number of people in America work very hard at something that bores them. Even a rich man thinks he has to go down to the office every day. Not because he likes it, but because he can’t think of anything else to do.”
--W.H. Auden

It’s Memorial Day weekend, time for the Indianapolis 500. I really like the annual ritual of watching this race. This Sunday I’ll be able to watch it from start to finish for the first time in several years.

A bit more history is being made this year at Indianapolis as three women have qualified for the race. It’s not just Danica Patrick any longer. How about that!

Race coverage on TV has become much more interesting over the last several years with cameras inside many cars and the use of very creative graphics describing the action. It’s all pretty darn amazing in high definition, with great sound. “Whoom, whoom, whoom-whoom-whooma-whooma!”

If the yearly 500 is not enough, I can extend my joy by watching the NASCAR race scheduled later in the day. A whole day of watching very rapid automobiles. What a time we live in!
