Red face OVERALL Benefit? Some Scattered Thoughts...

I'd be more concerned that NYSE closing prices for yesterday are to be "re-adjusted" after panic selling.

Much of my road-racing career was instructing other drivers—of whom, most were in their own cars.

(In "Street-Survivor" driving schools, learning street driver proficiencies can save in the "energy-hogging" manufacture of replacement cars while avoiding unnecessary street crashes—and costly injuries).

However, I did take comfort in learning that SCCA auto racing caused less shrinking of our petroleum reserves than horse racing!
