#WEATHER UP AUSTIN TX DRIVER#

Dale Jr won that day and did a reverse victory lap with Old Glory out the driver side window. I remember on the 3rd lap, everyone put their three fingers in the air, and that gesture seemed like a lifetime ago when it was only seven months since Dale passed. I know many citizens have fears tonight, and I ask you to be calm and resolute, even in the face of a continuing threat.” Less than two weeks later after 9/11 no one knew what to expect, but we also knew not attending wasn’t an option for us either. Simply going to a sporting event was answering the call from President Bush “Americans are asking: What is expected of us? I ask you to live your lives, and hug your children. Over the years the gravity of the moment gets lost on me sometimes. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to verbally tell that story to other Americans. “’Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land” We sang “God Bless America” and the National Anthem, but the one song of the three that still to this day brings me goosebumps when I think back to that moment it time… “And I’d gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today” Everyone was standing, waving their flags, and singing. Songs that capturing the energy of the moment. I’ve been at other sporting events when the pre-game highlight was the National Anthem, but that was only part of the story on that day. I’ve been at races when the pre-race highlight was the flyover, but that was not on this day. “And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me” Making our way to our seats, there was a different energy to the crowd unlike any other sporting event I have ever attended. Large groups where people get impatient and start to push and shove, everyone was polite and patient with each other as we funneled down to the gate. The entry gates were very restrictive and long. I remember waiting in line to get into the track that day. Other sports started back up earlier in the week, but none of those events had 140,000 Americans showing up. On Sept 23rd, this event was the largest post 9/11 held. “And I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free” However, the one event that stands out in my memory I attended as a regular ticket holder: the fall 2001 NASCAR Cup Race at Dover. I’ve received arena tours, stadium tours, and hot passes. I’ve attended NCAA football, MLB, NHL, NFL, and NASCAR events. I waited until I could write this story to the best of my abilities, and also when this personal memory would be the most relevant to Screencap Nation. in California, Maryland writes:Ī while back you asked for our live sporting event stories. Best Live Sporting Event You Ever Attended Although, there is more than corn in Indiana… (people who lived there should get this reference.) The way I describe Indiana to people who have never been there is as follows: Imagine a corn field that’s broken up by the occasional town or tree. The more the the tenderloin sticks out from the bun, the better. Anyone from Indiana has fond memories of these. fan, this is the steakhouse modeled on Ron Swanson’s favorite. Elmo Steak House with the best damn shrimp cocktail anywhere. shrimp cocktail to honor the best damn steakhouse in the State, St.(To further my Hoosier-cred, I remember the Jeff George era and still call myself a Colts fan.) Anyway, I humbly suggest this for the Indianapolis menu: I was born and lived in Indiana for the first 22 years of my life, but I’ve since moved away. from Ann Arbor and how he could never figure out what the menu for Indianapolis.

Let this one sink into your head a little bit. So while you’re crushing those patio beers today while watching college football, stop and take a look at the garage fridge. Trust me, I did a Google search and there’s never been a deep dive - that I can find - on The Art of the Garage Fridge. Do people around the world share a passion for garage fridges like Americans? Do you plaster your fridges with brewery stickers like here in the States? I’m hoping to receive international submissions for this project. Philosophy: What does the garage fridge mean to you? What roll does it play in your life?.Share your strategy - consider this the MTV ‘Cribs’ aspect.This will be about fridge strategy, art, and the philosophy of the garage fridge. This is more than just men and women showing off their garage fridges. I’m titling this project: The Art of the Garage Fridge. It’s time for Screencaps to make the transition with the readers. As we transition out of the Summer of the Patio thanks to astronomical fuel prices, it’s time to move into Garage Fridge mode.
