Trying to understand why things are as they are, and I'[m just not any good at.

Where is it that was? Why is it not? How does a flaw creep into perfection?

The PT extravaganza is not gettin' any easier, but its almost fun compared to the paperwork and politics of automotive engineering. Tho I must say driving too fast, especially sideways and backwards is still more fun.

Being held captive in Indy for several months. Over the years of travel I've learned to live with treadmills instead of unknown streets and the Gold's Gym here is...
