When I’m not part of the end of your day, I’m keeping track of what’s going on in the world of racing. Local, NASCAR, Indy, dirt, etc. Also, I’m (what I want to call) an avid road biker. The seacoast has a ton of great riding, and I’m looking forward to getting back on these roads. That’s enough for here.

Eric Church Pays Tribute To Chris Cornell (Video)
Since his death last week, tributes from artists across all genres have paid tribute to Chris Cornell.

Does The Penny Need To Go? 2017 Edition [POLL]
While certainly not the first time it's been brought up, the debate seems to be unresolved (and won't be here either). Should we do away with the penny?
Government Showdown Over…Nips?
Changes for 50ml liquor bottles (aka nips) are on the horizon. Either you're going to pay a deposit fee, like those on cans and bottles. Or, you're going to have to make a run across the border to get them. Governor Paul LePage said he’d work to ban the sale of nips if the Legislature passes bill to extend the state’s bottle deposit law to include the 50ml bottles.
Runners Fail To Qualify For Boston Marathon Due To Route Glitch
Have you ever run a course where it seems like there is NO WAY it's only a 5k?. You run out of gas after what you think is the fourth kilometer. You don't want to check your tracker, but you do.

No Good Deed Goes…Unrefreezed
It's inevitable. The longer you're with someone, the more you'll finish each other's sentences, adopt each other's mannerisms, and other forms of your own little world. Recently, mine came in the form of an all caps text.

The site of many recent road rage incidents is ready to open!
90’s Nostalgia: Are You Billy Ray?
This Tuesday has us in a 90's mood, and while we never got the answer to "Are You Jimmy Ray?" BILLY Ray Cyrus has gone the route of National Geographic (Nat Geo) and the Sci Fi Channel (syfy) by shortening his brand and whittling it down to "Cyrus."

File under: We have too many food choices.
Friday Is The New Tuesday: John Mellencamp
Tuesdays used to be release day for new music. Like the metric system, the United States carried out business different than most other parts of the world. With the digital revolution, we've gotten in line.
Is Twitter Heading The Way Of Friendster?
Remember when Twitter was the next to threaten Facebook's popularity? Yeah, FB took a well deserved public opinion beatdown when it adopted the hashtag. However, that's what Facebook does. It finds the trend another created, and adopts the concept. Right, Snapchat?

National Pretzel Day
Death, taxes, and my PCP telling me to cut down on salt. These three constants occur like clockwork. The third is nearly impossible when my sodium reduction kryptonite comes in the oven baked goodness known as the pretzel.
What App Can You NOT Live Without?
Today (April 25) is National Telephone Day. While most of us don't use the phone to talk, we certainly swim in the sea of apps. Some improve our lives, while others hover over "uninstall" within hours.
