I can only imagine that that would be the pinnacle of venue 'gets' for virgina male nascar fans.

Prospects come and go, fortunes and futures are won and lost. But the people survive. They are people of that place and, often, are people of an earlier if not better time. The people of the US need to come to terms with the Martinsvilles, the Plainville, KS, and other places as our own. On a bright note, maybe once again we will build diversity out of a world forever trying to homogenize itself. Good Work.
