My Gift

When my mom came home last August she gave an unexpected gift. It was one of those mens titanium watches I see a lot in magazines but this one was more important because it belonged to my stepfather. It’s of the Tagheuer brand and the first time I owned one. It’s really a work of art. Now I know why people spend a lot of money on watches.

IndyCar Tragedy

Dan Wheldon, who just won the IndyCar championship last May, is the latest fatality in racing. This story reminded me of Ayrton Senna, a champion driver in F1 who also got into a fatal accident. Dan Wheldon’s cause of death is the same as Ayrton Senna’s: Head Trauma.

The incident happened last October 16 at the 2011 IZOD IndyCar World Championship in Las Vegas. A 15 car pile up ensued leaving a number of drivers injured and taking the life of the former champion.

This is another sad day for racing fans and for the entire racing industry. And hopefully F1 and IndyCar will learn something from this tragedy in order to avoid future pile ups and fatal injuries.

Car damaged by arguing ex-couple

A few weeks back I was called on to check on my car because of a recent fight that ensued near the place where I parked it. I was a bit nervous but more than that I was angry and wanted to take my anger out on the couple that caused the problem.

When I got to my car though I was thankful because there was very minimal damage. I was then saddened at what happened to the girl’s car which was really wrecked. In the end the offending parties decided to pay for the minor repairs and rightfully so. At least I didn’t have a problem while on the road in which I’d hope I have an rv emergency roadside assistance coverage.
