Haha, yes.

It's a survivor site now. The intensity is gone, if there ever was such a thing. Did we enable the spazzes? Maybe. Some. Did we annoy people? Yes. Each other? Oh yes. Did we have fun? I'd say so.

I know I still keep coming back and think it's a worthy exercise.

I miss people like Scrap (RIP) and Al and McJ, though. They could all piss people off, royally.

I guess what I'm saying is that there's little point in trying to change now. We've all been there. We're now just being here. If it changes, then it changes.

I can enjoy this place without ambition.

I second that.  Places and things evolve over time.  It's the nature of the universe.  I stopped mourning about the way things were.  The only constant is change.

Yup. It's a good thing. Kind of zen, too.

I miss my buddy!  We actually got to meet up over mutual racing interests and the funeral of a racer.

Do not forget his military service. As much of an asshole as he was to some, he fought for this country and another at one time, in a rough place.

I can not imagine how any of that changed him, but the man I met was one hard core ballzy son of a bitch!

... and I mean that in the best way.

I never pissed anyone off.  And I greatly miss what this place used to be.
