THE TYGRRRR EXPRESS

The Tygrrrr Express has wrapped up appearances at the North Carolina Republican Convention, and is now preparing for the Coca Cola 600.

Some of you who follow Nascar may claim that the Coca Cola 600 was last week, and that Kurt Busch won it.

This is my version of the Coca Cola 600. I am in North Carolina, and I have a long drive from Winston-Salem to Charlotte.

Ok, so in my case it is the Coca Cola 60, and should only take an hour. Also, it will most likely be a Coke Zero or Diet Coke with lime that I drink as I drive.

The point is only a week after the race, I am in the city, and I am going to claim part of the glory.

At least Winston-Salem didn’t go politically correct and change their name to Nextel-Salem or Sprint-Salem.

I might even have the North Carolina cigarette experience, although if I do mine will be candy cigs, perhaps strawberry.

On Monday I am off to Dallas for the Texas GOP Convention. For now, it is nice to just sit back, drive the car, and enjoy life. Life is meant to be lived, and I enjoy seeing America.

I have not watched a full Nascar race since Dale Earnhardt died, although I do root for junior. Well this weekend Junior should root for me, as I will be in my black transam.

Or I will be in an awful mint green Ford Focus, less disgusting than a Prius but worse than a lot.

Anyway, for those who need to find me, I will be flying down the highway headed West…

(Or North, who knows, I have no directional sense. My literal compass barely outshines my moral compass.)

In a streak of black lightning (or some mint green contraption), called the Tygrrrr Express.

Happy belated Coca Cola 600.

On to the next adventure.
