He led the first and last laps of that race :) I find him appealing, in that Jim Clark is his hero, and he's aware of the history of the sport. A lot of drivers aren't. I recall an interview with Schumacher where he was being compared to Alberto Ascari, and it was painfully obvious that he didn't know who that was.

I watched part of the Michigan game Saturday. I may start watching them just from fascination with the ongoing trainwreck. There's much schadenfreude amongst the locals, of course.

My mother's Qat is missing her whiskers on one side. She's suspected of having been up on the sideboard beside the stove (where she's not allowed), although apart from the missing whiskers, there's no evidence.

There's been another huge crash on the freeway outside my apartment. Columbus is known for its exciting merges and offramps.

I came near to getting a large rock in the face this morning on the way to work. I was a hundred yards or so behind a big dump truck who had lots of dried dirt encrusted all over the undercarriage. It kept falling off, and I'd be assailed with showers of grit and pebbles. I finally moved over two lanes to get out of the worst of it, and went to pass him. Just as I was coming up on him, a big slab of dirt broke free, and out of it bounced a rock bigger than my fist. Of course, it came skittering directly across two lanes toward me, and began bouncing at the same time. I swerved and missed it by inches. I saw it go shooting past my side window, exactly at head height. That would have been an impressive doom.
