Happy 4th of July, the impending report, and the Busch race from Milwaukee.

Happy 4th of July!

I hope all of you will remember that this is the time of the year that we are allotted the opportunity to celebrate our independence here in the good ol' US of A. As we reflect on Independence Day, we can be thankful that we have the opportunity to give the IRS its "fair" share of our hard earned monies. And, watch helplessly while our government gives it away to overseas entities. On the bright side, we should all be thankful that we have the freedom to partake in the trials and tribulations of Winston Cup racing. I hope all of you enjoy the holiday, and have many more to come! Here's a little something for you folks to put you in a good mood for the 4th:

Redneck Letter

Dear Billy Joe Bob,

I'm writing this slow because I know you can't read fast. We don't live where we did when you left home. Your Pa read in the newspaper that most accidents happen within 20 minutes of your home, so we moved. I won't be able to send you the address because the last family that lived here took the house numbers when they moved so they wouldn't have to change their address.

This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine. I'm not sure it works so well, though. Last week I put a load of clothes in and pulled the chain, we haven't seen it since.

The weather isn't bad here. It only rained twice last week, the first time for three days and the second time for four days.

About that coat you wanted me to send. Your Uncle Bubba said it would be too heavy to send in the mail with the buttons on, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets.

Bubba locked his keys in the car yesterday. We were really worried because it took him two hours to get me and your father out.

Your sister had a baby this morning, but I haven't found out what it is yet so I don't know if you are an aunt or uncle. The baby looks just like your brother.

Uncle Bobby Ray fell into a whiskey vat last week. Some men tried to pull him out but he fought them off and drowned. We had him cremated, he burned for three days.

I know a lot of people are looking forward to this report to see what will or won't be in it.

Thanks for highlighting this issue relating to Earnhardt.

Chat with you later, ...
