So in case you hadn’t noticed, your Humble No Fenders Scribe was off to The Valley of the Sun all last week and hence returned to the ‘Ol Jet City yesterday afternoon before promptly being awoken at 3:27AM to the soothing NOT! Tones of my ASSHOLIC neighbors that believe everybody wishes to listen to their CRAP! Err, R-A-P Snoop-Snoop HomeDog whenever they feel like Parteein’ - but I digress...
As this nonsense, along with the Gossip I just heard ‘bout She ‘Texted the Bartender ‘bout her Daughters over NOTHING because she’s apparently a BITCH! All seem so NOT important after the HORRIFICLY WASTEFUL DEATH of Dan Wheldon - as I’ll save my true comments ‘til next week as I’d like to pay my small token of admiration towards the ‘Cheeky Brit prior to moving on...
As not only have we lost ‘DannyBoy, but also ex-Moto2 Champion and emerging MOTO GP rider Marco Simoncelli - who’s death made me immediately flashback to the checkerboard motif planter-box with tree honoring another fallen rider at Pacific Raceways in Kent, WA - when this Unknown Rider (to Mwah) was tragically killed whilst trying to crawl across the ‘Ash-fault after having tumbled off his motorcycle several years ago...
And how many people know of the late Rick Huseman (plus his brother and pilot) whose death was also confirmed upon the same fateful Sunday as Dan Wheldon’s? As I myself had never heard of the Off Road Champion prior to his Aeroplane’s plummet into the Baja desert. And lastly, let’s not forget six-year old Michael Wanser; son of Barry - Dario Franchitti’s Strategist who succumbed to his fight against leukemia... (As I HATE to see anybodies life taken prematurely - MOST especially a child’s!)
As hopefully we’ll all take a moment or three to think of, honour and/or pay homage to in our own individual ways to the people above - along with the unfortunate Souls to come in the future...
