I'm Watching Car Racing on Watkins Glen

From a text sent to Iivo after Richard drove himself home from church, having expressed that he didn't feel well.

I made it! I left my phone in the car! It’s only now that I got it—with 1% charge left in the battery. On the way to the car and back, I almost got roasted. Now I’m safely in my room.

I’m watching car racing on Watkins Glen. Very interesting! A car just careened onto the pile of spent tires. It’s Mazda against Porsche. Also in the pack are a Vedette, Beamers.

The track is an open road style—left right left. Many curves. Sometimes the are three high going through curves trying to pass one another. 

NASCAR races ... I think in some time in the future the are going to be run by self-driving cars. 🤣

They just dug the wrecked car out of the tires and hauled it off on a flatbed wrecker. The driver went in an EMS. And the race is back on!

There seam to be Audis, Lexus, Acura, Toyota in the pack!

And a Cadillac? Yup! He came in 4th! Must have inherited the platform from the Opel that became the Carrera when it was “naturalized.” 😂

I’m going to heat me a seafood dinner and have a bottle of white wine. Does just as well as the water in Virginia Beach. I’m not sick to my stomach any more. A bit of sleep and the Paella did the trick. 

Maybe it’s not the best practice to lose weight by fasting and drying one's guts and brains.
