Good afternoon, all!

The University closed at 2:00 PM today, so I took the train home early. Ivelis sweetly picked me up at the train station in the still notable heat—my fancy LaCrosse thermometer tells me that it peaked at 98 today. I than stupidly went out to the garage and fought with the 2003; suddenly, it has a rough idle.

Matt, most folks who do have a NASCAR interest think that Sunday's race was one of top three of the year. So, if that wasn't your thing, I don't think NASCAR is going to deliver for you.
