It's a joyous day in Cleveland as three missing girls were found. It's kind of surreal to see this happen where it did because I know exactly where this is. It's not really a "ghetto" neighborhood. It's pretty close to the Westside Market and Tremont. Charles Ramsey is a hero.

I was just talking to someone about this a few minutes ago. The fact that the kidnapper has kept those 3 girls for 10 years is pretty sad.

Crazy moment on my way home. Emergency Services were all over the place from the elementary school a few blocks down all the way to the park behind my place...Almost like they were searching for someone.

What apparently happened was a car chase ended with the suspect driving into someone's house, he bolted from the scene into the park and ended up being caught on one of the softball diamonds.

so I guess he scored a HOME RUN.

I'll find the door.

in all seriousness, I hope nobody was hurt.

I strained one of my left hip flexors during a track meet today, but considering injuries that others have received from track, it could have been plenty worse. The athletic trainer said it should be better in several days.

Also, I joined EFR one year ago today!

Considering going to Brands Hatch this October for the Formula Ford Festival, but I'm not so sure anymore. Regardless of the stupid wings, how have the grid sizes been this year?

I think last year's grids were the worst ones ever recorded. I'm not sure how they'll be this year but judging by the grids the national series has at the moment I assume it will be just as bad. Although it's a much further distance to travel, the Walter Hayes Trophy is a much better place to go because they don't have the winged crap and the grids are very good, the weather though is usually pretty cold.

I just realized that the town in which Tsarnaev was apprehended in the boat (Watertown, MA) is the same town that Papyrus was headquartered.

However, they apparently only got to keep about half of it after being hit by the government's "what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine" taxation.

Still a heck of a lot of money, though.
