We are researching a possible track record from Monday Night-- Melanie Williams won the 3rd race with her free-legged pacer Beans And Weenies and at age 58 she may be the oldest female driver ever to win a race over the Flying Turns. My research shows Jayne Weller was a winner at age 55 in November of 2005 and we have inquiries out to some of the old-timers to see if they can remember anybody else.
Now, Ms. Williams is a lovely woman and part of a huge horse-racing family (the family tree is more convoluted than a Sequoia forest) which includes Hollars, Browns and many others. She is a talented horse-person in her own right, but she has threatened to kick my butt if I actually issue a press release lauding the old lady.
So, I will blog here until I can confrim some details and then I will be forced to announce her acheivement to the media.
On another subject, I guess John McCain is taking some grief for not knowing how many houses he owns. It's easy to forget. But lest face it, most of those homes are his wife's. Is it his fault he married well? He seems to be taking even more (bleep) over his comments at the Sturgis Bike Rally. He was so caught up in the excitement that he told attendees, that he encouraged his wife to participate in the festivities: “I told her with a little luck, she could be the only woman ever to serve as both the first lady and Miss Buffalo Chip.” Miss Buffalo Chip is a topless (and soemtimes bottomless) competition. Now, personally, the idea of Cindy McCain in a wet t-shirt holds little interest for me, but McCain may have hit on something here. With all the recent problems with Presidential Elections, hanging chads, Florida, Clinton-Obamam, why not decide the presidency with a wet t-shirt contest between Michelle Obama and Mrs. McCain. Turnout in the south would be huge and there might be less controversy over the winner.
