Did anybody else notice that rents shot up right about the time (1988 +/-) the Supreme Court decided landlords couldn’t discriminate against families w/kids? My theory is that it used to be the euphamistic way of keeping single moms & poor families (i.e., minorities) out of the neighborhood. When it was banned, they started doing it by price.
Diane I try to make it to all the local races. I used to ride a little bit, but didn’t have the balls to hang at all. Some of my friends still ride for fun though. I have met a few times, through friends, Jason McCormick and he’s a great guy.
If you want to come up for Nationals at Washougal you’re welcome to come! I usually stay up there the whole weekend and camp. It’s about 45 min from the house. I’ve ridden the track quite a few times, and those damn whoops have made me think twice more than once (did that make sense?)
There’s no doubt it’ll be Ricky and Bubba in the end. I don’t think anyone can hang with Ricky in the Outdoors either. He’s got too much time to overcome any small mistakes he might make on the longer tracks.
but, this is the pit… so I hope that piece of shit rots in the burning lake of hell.
I gotta say you’re obviously doing a grand job of raising your son!
You might recall that although I now live in Davis, my “real home” is in Monterey County. Sadly, there’s the whole gamut of racists there also. Luckily though, it’s only a handful of fools. I suspect the ratio’s probably the same in Utah–a handful of fools against the many good people like Diane.
I like to think that I get out and about enough and run across enough people from all walks of life due to the nature of my career, that I can say with certainty that the asshole racists are the extreme minority.
I just think they stick out more, kind of like a shit skidmark on a clean towel. Hopefully not too common, but disgusting and noticible when you see it.
