Yesterday was a bad day for two reasons. Firstly, having decided not to drive up to Cape Canaveral to watch the shuttle launch, I was looking forward to catching a glimpse from Everwood Run 150 miles away from the launch site. Obviously, the launch was abandoned. Secondly, a luck would have it, Tori and I are in Florida at the same time as Desoto Speedway have school buses racing on the figure-of-eight track. We made the trip up to the raceway early and caught the first few races (including the 12 to 17 year old category, as shown in the photo, featuring Chloe, no more than 14 years old, who came 3rd in her race). Just before the buses came on, the event was called off due to rain. Unbelievable!
