    Havn't heard a thing. Was looking forward to my 1st French Quarter Classic as all reports were it was a fantastic event. Oh well. Just hope they are safe.

    Haven't cancelled my hotel room yet but I don't see how it can come together at least to the original schedule.

    FFQC is a no go this year, Shame because it was such a great event. People probably wont even be allowed back in Nawlins until mid November

    I'll definately be at FFQC in 2006 :)

    No more law school in 06, maybe I'll spend a week in Nawlins 2.0

    I put a family back together yesterday.......that felt really good.

    The scene at the downtown Greyhound station was even MORE unreal than usual....


    I got home to Valeria feeling great.

    Her eyes went black that evening....she said she didn't love me anymore, and I should leave............

    High peaks.....low valleys, boys. I wonder what the pawn value of this Cartier ring is............

    Her house has been broken into twice now....

    I'm running up a glass bill, and have cut myself twice........

    Counting Valeria, three times, I guess..........

    I have not cancelled my reservation yet, but there is a message on the Windsor Court website that says they will be closed until December 1.

    That's MORE than accurate, I'm sure....it's done for this year, gang.

    Be real......

    My Fcars went back in the barn, for awhile, after a spirited run yesterday.

    My heart is broken....not much bloodshed there!

    We are trying to reconcile, but she has seen me with the Riot Model shotgun now and I think it was too much.

    It was actually JUST ENOUGH, for the crazy scene at Greyhound, and I was helping a retired Police Officer, his daughter, and ten year old grandson.

    That felt real nice......:) :) :) :)

    Valeria is free to stay, and also free to go...that's how much I love her.

    Oh, wait, it's HER house...........SHEEEEEEEEEEIT! It's gonna take four new batteries to roll all these cars outta here!!!!!!! LOL! ;)

    You are welcome, Roland. My heart has been so heavy, until I actually PERSONALLY helped someone out.......

    Maybe now, I can get some rest............maybe get the karts running at the Church and entertain some kids......

    The 'Old Alan' is still around here......somewhere........:rolleyes:

    He was a pretty fun guy!!! LOL!

    Franco rode out the storm in New Orleans, Fcar in Windsor Court parkign garage, hopefully not broken into. He left the day after the storm I believe.

    Thanks for the update, I was wondering what he did with the F430. Hope it is in good shape.
    Any word on John H.'s collection?

    No prob, although I really know nothing about what JH did. I know he left, I think to Florida, but no idea about any other details. I would imagine Richard Thompson or Charlie Thomas have a much better idea.
