Wow. The weather is an externality, inasmuch as it can’t be influenced once the date of the event is set, but the restrictions placed on attendees are some serious bullshit. At least we have trees and shaded areas (shaded grandstands even), and you can take drinks and ice from outside the venue.

I was going to come on here and make a snarky post about the weather being too X-treme for the X Games... then I read your post. No outside beverages? Bare aluminum seating in Texas? No umbrellas allowed, even on the grounds? Shoot, how are they going to get NASCAR to come in and save them from financial ruin if they…

Oooooo I’d love to see that painting! Spectacular subject.

What timing. Just this past Saturday my wife was just commissioned to do a painting of a Muira SV. It was an award winner at Amelia Island on Sunday. Lime green, my favorite color. Second one from left in this pic.

Sorry, but I am willing to bet many of the ghosts of those who have fallen would have been cheering that shit on the whole time. We’re all cut from the same cloth.

We assume people aren’t assholes.

Google has published all their accidents as required by law. There are some where you could blame them for driving more cautiously than human drivers expect, but everything was ultimately someone else’s fault.

Are we just assuming none of the sexual assaults were on male passengers?
