I took a good look at my car today as I walked out to head to work. IT IS DISGUSTING! I can't remember the last time I washed it and I know I haven't swept it out since last fall. You know, I used to make sure my vehicle was pristene back when I had a hunk of junk. But now that I have a pretty decent car, I can't be bothered to keep it clean! These days I would just as soon buy a new one as wash the old one. Maybe when then weather warms up, I'll get the inspiration to do the job.....or maybe when I look at the price tag on a new one! That will put things in aa all new perspective......

Quietly, Butler University has built quite a basketball program. The Bulldogs won their conference tournament again last night and are headed to the NCAA tournament. The program continues to excel in spite of the fact that the coach there gets taken by a higher echelon team about every three years. Butler has to be taken seriously as a championship contender this year with no dominant team in college basketball. Since IU is not going to be there, I may be a Butler fan during this year's NCAA tournament.

Did you see the NASCAR race over the weekend...especially where Carl Edwards intentionally wrecked Brad Keselowski. That was so blatant. Edwards tried for a couple of laps to crash Keselowski before finally getting it done. Edwards was black flaggged and had to leave the race. That wreck could have seriously injured Keselowski or even some fans, so you would figure NASCAR would come down pretty hard on him. Not the case. Edwards received only a three race suspension, so he will not miss a race. Now any other driver who gets a little upset on the track can feel free to wreck a competitor and know he will receive a fate no worse than the one given to Carl Edwards. I think that sets a bad precedent, but could make for some very exciting racing.
