Attention all out-of-towners: weather for the week continues to be ridiculously hot for at least Thursday, and Friday and Saturday are predicted to be cooler, but Weather Channel is only good for the weather babes because their weather forecasts for SoCal are ridiculously off. Remember that when the national weather is given for LA, calculate about +4-5 degrees F for Aliso Viejo.
And for where I live, +50 deg.

I don't think Honor is taught in school anymore, it is an old school thing.

Swifty is still waiting on the ruling from Fred on whether his "Gentleman's Club" sponsorship will force him to run GT1.

In the end I guess what I am saying is....

My lips are sealed, I got death threats and a gun is pointing at my head. I might as well be back in the Philippines, at least there it's a given what happens to loud mouths.
