The Traveling Circus


Rushed home from school today to make sure the laundry was done and the kidlets had everything packed up for their little trip to Laguna Seca...

Sorta let AWfoSho and El Gigante do their own thing with the packing... this one is their gig because I gotta be in the classroom Thursday and Friday. I figured I'd let them do all the baggage handling, etc. Looked like they made a decent job of it, so I sent 'em down the road.

And waited for the phone calls from the traveling circus to come in...

first one came from Janwitch. something about tiny hotel rooms or some sort of nonsense...

second one came from AWfoSho. something about forgotten licenses and scanners and faxes...

to tell the truth, I didn't pay much attention to either of them because I was enjoying a few moments with my feet up. And, American Idol was on...

But some new software installation, a few games with the printer, and a trip to the neighbors fax machine later and the licenses were sent off... told Janwitch that he could deal with the small beds...

aah Sea Otter... what a circus.

It's kinda hard to make predictions about what is gonna happen in the junior races because Active.com SUCKS... they don't have any pre-reg lists... all one can do is type in individual names and check to see if they are reg'd. And, I'll be damned if I'm gonna spend time typing in all the west coast kidlet's names.

But, I did type in a few... looks like the usual suspects from Specialized, Tieni Duro, Swift, and Ride for a Reason. A few big names from SoCal are missing... assuming I can spell... As for DBCJRT; TK, Staz, AWfoSho, El Gigante and Brian will be queueing up at the start line tomorrow and Friday...

Road Races... TK has to be one of the favorites in the 17/18 contest... the kidlets will be working for him on Thursday. El Gigante will be all by his lonesome in the 15/16 group. He'll be following wheels all day...

Circuit Races... AWfoSho says his legs feel good, Staz is on top of his game right now, and TK is always a threat. All three are capable of taking the W if things fall their way... AWfoSho will be saving his legs on Thursday for this one. He's kinda got a taste for it on his tongue and would like to win it once as a junior. Once again, El Gigante will be all by his lonesome in the 15/16 category. Prob'ly best to just follow wheels and hope to be there for the finale...

I'd like the kidlets to bring a couple of jerseys back to the greater Davis area with them... but Sea Slaughter is always a circus. One never knows what will happen.

Is that Janwitch, or did you mean Janwich? The latter suits the maker of all those motel feasts.

How do those strange Attention! See Please here messages that link to bogus ads get into this space in the middle of the night?

I probably meant "Janwich"... but Janwitch is so much more fun.

As for the bogus add stuff... I don't know how it gets there. I've toyed with the idea of moderating all comments before allowing them to post, but that takes all the spontaneity out of it. For now, best bet is to ignore anything that says click here. fortunately they don't seem to be propogating any viruses... be safe as you cruise the interwebs :)
