Today is the running of the 91st Indianapolis 500. Maw grew up in Indy. During the entire month of May, everything is checkerboard black/white. Everything centers around the Indy 500. All the news is about the 500. All advertisements include something about the 500.
One of the coolest things this year is that there are 3 women racing. Also, Dr. McDreamy (Patrick Dempsey) from Grey's Anatomy is driving the Pace Car!!! He is a co-owner of Vision Racing which has 4 cars running in today's race. It's a huge honor to be the Pace Car driver!!
In other news, it's been raining a lot here and we are very grateful. Our main reservoir that supplies water for our county is finally full, but the backup lake is still 10 feet low because it is east of here and hasn't been getting as much rainfall over it's watershed area. We know many other parts of the country desperately need rain and we hope you start getting some very soon. We know very well what it's like to live in an extreme drought.
Have a great day!
Luf, Us
