Howdy

 It's less than 2 weeks until election day, so make sure you vote. Remember to research all the candidates on your ballot. Some of the local races you'll be voting in can be crucial.

The weather is cooler, and it's a great time to be outdoors. Here in South Carolina, at least my part of it, there isn't much in the way of leaf color, but I drove a few miles north yesterday, and it's almost upon us.  This is my favorite time of the year.

Have a great day and a great autumn.

Greetings!

 Today is Friday, and it's finally October, the temperatures are getting cooler, and the day is sunny.  Altogether, it's a nice day.  I hope yours is as well.

I'm working on getting this site back to some sort of regularity, but bandwidth has been my enemy as of late, but hopefully that will not be as much of an issue soon.

The presidential debate was ridiculous.  Nobody watching that debacle changed sides.  I know who I'm voting for, and so do you, so let's just leave it at that.

NASCAR announced a dirt race at Bristol in 2021, which personally, I'm excited about.  The last top level dirt race was in the old Grand National (Pre Winston Cup) in 1970.  I say bring it on.  Dirt is where it all started, and I'm excited to see it again.  

I wish you happiness today and every day.

Until later.

Still In Progress!

 Working around the clock for your enjoyment.  Oh, wait, that's a lie!😂

Stay with me. We'll get there. I promise, and this time I mean it.

 This is an all new blog. I apologize for it's rough look right now, but that will come along in time. It's great to be writing again, and I look forward to doing this.

About me?  I'm the guy who ran the Jimmy C blog for a few years.  I'm still Jimmy, or Jim, or just plain old James if you like. I moved to my current house 4 months ago, and I'm still settling in.  I still enjoy NASCAR, but am not as invested in the sport as I used to be. Too many changes, many of which I consider to be idiotic, but I have to give kudos to the sport for trudging onward through the pandemic.  NASCAR has provided a template which is being followed by other sports, and I'm glad to see that.

I'm going to try to provide commentary on this site that hopefully will be pertinent to today's issues.  I'm a conservative, not a Republican. I don't belong to a party, but am open to new ideas, but I'm seeing many old hatreds being rekindled by both sides lately. It's truly sad to see. 

I lost my wife back in February of this year. We had not been together for years. We reconnected in November of last year, but she died of cancer. It's a horrible, ugly disease, and I'm glad she's not in so much pain anymore. 

 


This is the reason for the new name. I'll leave it to you to figure out the rest. I'll be back with many more changes and improvements soon, God willing.

Take care.  Take your time. Life is too short to screw it up.

Goodbye for now.

 Something new is coming soon. Stay turned for Gallivan at Smith.  Starting hopefully on August 25, 2020.

It's a work in progress.

We are getting closer to launch. Be patient! You will be rewarded!

Greetings, my friends.  This site is most definitely under construction. Not only is the name changing, but the focus is as well.

NASCAR fans, don't worry. We'll still talk racing. I'm just working on getting this site running again and branching out into different areas as well.  As was before, I'll never publish anything you would not want your kids or your grandma to read.

Stay tuned while I get this 🔥 lit!

Thanks,

James Crooks
