-After watching a total DB on a crotch rocket, weave in and out of morning traffic in Charlestown, WVa, it's a wonder the fatality rate for them isn't higher.
-Find a lot of humor in the fact that there is a Bible College and Southern "X"posure Gentlemans Club off the same exit. Wonder how many of them boys sneak over to the club...

-Beautiful women everywhere
-My handicapping sucks as bad on track, as off.
