Chimichanga Cheeseyburrito!
Greetings from Casa dos Gatos. Getting toward that time of year. The Chainsaw Sisters Racing Team breaks their Summer Camp up north and returns to civilization for another winter of racing. Seventeen seasons. Seems like yesterday we were sitting at the Sisters’ bar, drinking a Pig’s Eye and explaining Crab Racing to the television crew from Duluth. One of them there long, strange trips. I’ve been working on a Steely Dan thing. It’s about wrapped up, I’ll let you know when it’s done. So I’ve sprinkled some Dan links throughout for your entertainment. I know it’s been at least a year since I said this, but it bears repeating. I have 7.9 hours of Steely Dan on my mp3 player. 100 songs. I can put it on shuffle and I guarantee I’ll never hear a bad song.
A rainy night in Mayberry for this week’s round of Football Crab Racing. Four of the top five teams are in the room. Facial Shot and The Saints are tied for First and they’re joined by the Third Place Pharts and the Fifth Place Fockers (who are still mathematically in contention). Team Hincky has a nice group and the Lost Gilligan Team even manages to muster some representation. Race Row is full, and the rest of the crowd fills in nicely behind them. Not a big group, but they do a fair job nonetheless. Our Hosts, Steve and The Original Sarah are tearing up the Trivia from the Skyboxes, Ricky Four Inch is behind the Bar. Thursday Night Shane is in the Kitchen and Rhonda’s on the floor, SERVING US ALL!!!! Here’s one more tune before I have to ask, ARE YOU READY FOR SOME-

The win gives GSR the points lead with 48, Facial Shot picks up 2 to stay in Second with 44, and the Crabby Old Farts hold at 38 for Third Place. A rare Schoolhouse Rock Semifinal tonight. Make sure you go back and play some of those, they’re quite good.
Here’s one more from Steely Dan. I’ll let you know when the concert’s done. The Crabs come back to Folkie’s on the 26th for a big Thanksgiving Eve show. Until then, he’s Sonny Starr.
