A couple of weekend quick hits:
I had an errand to run up north today and it being the first Saturday of the month, I thought I would grab a young auto enthusiast relation of mine and drop by Cars & Coffee at Classic BMW. The Teebox Golf Show (that's what they call it on The Ticket website) usually broadcasts from that event.
Never been there before. It was quite a thing. Huge crowd of women and (mostly) men and some amazing vehicles. Parking was a double sawbuck, but there was no place to park -- actually, the cool older cars were kind of interspersed with the regular old parking. I found a place where my heap wouldn't look too out of place. I was interested in the vintage cars but my companion made a beeline for the Ferraris, Maseratis, and his favorites, the Lamborghinis. I asked him how much he thought they cost. He was off by a factor of about forty, so I suggested that he go with the leveraged buyout specialist as a career choice, and maybe put "Jedi" on the back burner for the time being.
I looked around for the Teebox, looked for the mast of the broadcast truck, couldn't find either. I was looking for the usual remote setup, hosts sitting at a table, speakers blasting the show. Then my companion saw some guys and said, "Is that the radio show?" Sure enough, there were a couple of guys, Rick Arnett and Craig Rosengarden, with headsets on relaxing on some comfy chairs smack in the middle of the showroom with a couple of guys, an engineer and some other guy who was just kind of a guy sitting there enjoying the presentation and checking his phone. (Craig on the left with the red cap, Rick with his back to the camera on the right.)
[[CORRECTION: I am reliably advised that the "kind of a guy" checking his phone isn't just any old guy, but the guy who is a good friend of Corby Davidson, the one and only Eric Maas, owner of Classic BMW. By the way, if you haven't been there -- it's a gorgeous dealership. Wonder what he'd take for the Conestoga.]]

There were no speakers set up in the showroom to broadcast the show to the shoppers, and I wonder how many of them even knew that one of the original Day One Ticket guys (Rick) was even at that moment broadcasting in their very midst.

By the way, Rick Arnett has a nice Avid Golfer blog you should check out. Gahf and babes. It's listed on the Ticket-Friendly Links, and here it is: Avid Golfer Blog

Did someone throw some cold water on Eli Jordan? I was listening to a Ticker this morning and I thought -- I know this voice, but there's something different. It was Eli, speaking in normal human tones.
I like Eli's overheated narratives. I hope they haven't asked him to calm down.

Back to Cars & Coffee for a minute: When we drove out there was a long line of people along the Parkway. They seemed to have a couple of banners but they were kinda crinkled up and I couldn't read them entirely, although one displayed the partial phrase "CROSS THIS LINE," as though it were some kind of demonstration. Anyone know what that was about?

I may regret this, but I'm going to suspend moderation and see what happens. I was browsing some older threads and came across one where the Confessors were talking about moderation. Some liked it, but a thin majority didn't. So I thought I'd take off the leash and see if the dog stayed close.
