OT: F1 race

[marc at getty.net (Marc Getty)]

Ha ha ha Mr. Bubb. Anyone who has ever met me knows I'm about a foot too
tall to fit into a F1 car! Don't worry, the F1 tracks are safe with me on
the sidelines.

BTW: I'm trying to go see F1 in both Montr?al (have the tickets, just no
hotel yet) and Indy this year. Should be awesome! 

Leaving for Cincy in ~31 hours.

-Marc

you ever watch Jacque Villeneuve?
Yep! He'll block anybody and everybody. Even the race lead coming up to lap
his slow ass!
He's a pain in the ass.
Which would you prefer? Marc Villeneuve or Jacque Getty? ;^) Dan
