Rain Delays And Blinks
Well, We're back home. We got rained on and the race was delayed twice. My lady-friend developed the sniffles and started whining. Temp was in the 80's at the racetrack. I was having the time of my life. After the second rain delay stretched out to nearly two hours we decided to leave (she decided, I caved -- hehehe). I can honestly say it was MAGNIFICENT! I never dreamed it could be so loud. All that horsepower, flying around the track at speeds in excess of 200 MPH. I just checked and the race was finally resumed and is just past the halfway point. The lead keeps changing hands. All I can say is you have to come see the Indy 500 at least once in your life to really appreciate motor racing. Watching it on TV is just not the same. At the track it is AWESOME!The only problem I encountered was finding a parking place. We had to walk about half a mile, even after arriving two hours before race time.
I've started to tinker with the blog site again. I just signed up with blogrolling.com to automate our blogroll. This should be a lot easier than manually editing the Main Page template every time I add another really cool site.
Now, let's see what's going on around the Blogosphere .......
Tom, at Aldaynet, has the scoop on a RetardFest in Atlanta.
Allah is still AWOL and has been for three weeks. I'm starting to get worried. Someone contact Amber Alert - STAT!
Emperor Misha is MAD! M-A-D mad! Grinding teeth mad! Clenched fists mad! Why? Go read about what is going on at one of our fine government-controlled schools in Denver. I'm right there with you, Misha. I say we pop a cap in the principal's sorry ass.
John at Castle Argghhh! has his Memorial Day post up. READ IT NOW! That's an order!
The guys at DGCI have a letter from Cooter, down by de bayou in Loosiana, to John Kerry. Triple-Laugh Alert! They promise to have their Memorial Day tribute up tomorrow.
Frank, at IMAO, is out for the weekend but he left us with an informative look at Al Gore. Key quote: Al Gore's father was also a U.S. Senator and his mother is a wooden plank. Many say Gore got his personality from his mother. Mheh-heh-he ....
Instapundit keeps us abreast of absolutely wonderful developments in Europe.
Speaking of staying abreast, Kim du Toit loves guns and broads. So do I. This weekend's pics are an absolute treasure. Jane Russell. I remember that picture of her in the hay is what started me through puberty .. way back when. Oh, my! Temperature's rising ........
Finally, while you're enjoying the long weekend, take the time to read Steven Den Beste's excellent essay on Bias In The Press. Steven is probably one of the best writers in the blogosphere and should be required reading.
FINAL STANDING ORDER: It is Memorial Day Weekend - get out and enjoy yourself. Bathe in the freedom this country provides. Go have a picnic, go fishing, take a drive around the countryside, visit friends and family, relax and tell yourself what a good life you have. Somewhere, under six feet of dirt, is a soldier, sailor or airman who sacrificed his or her life so you could do all these things. That is all.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
