Geez, what a racket. I’m sittin’ here drinking some coffee and perusing what’s up on the board and there’s this incredible racket outside. I’ve only been as far out as the porch which overlooks a residential street, so I didn’t see anything, but it sounds like bunches of race cars are winding it out just blocks away.

We’ve got some race car people here; is there supposed to be some sort of auto race in Houston today?

Yep, Grand Prix type action in downtown Houston.

All right. Maybe I’ll just go to the races today. Gran Prix - I’ve never watched one of those.

Thanks.
