Am back from Virginia and job interviewing.
NASCAR Hall of Fame Class #1
So, it's Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, Junior Johnson, Bill France, Bill France Jr.
*ponders*
I'm going to be honest, while all of them deserve to be in, I have at least one major issue: they should not be putting in two Frances at one time.
I've been pondering who they'd put in, and since there are so many that deserve to be in, it comes down to super special criteria for the first class. The founder needs to go in. The all time winningest driver needs to go in. The guy with the most championships needs to go in. Those three are givens. My personal thoughts leaned toward an owner/crew chief for one of the last two positions. An argument could be made for another driver added in. That's why I'm willing to take Junior Johnson - he wasn't just a driver, he was an owner (and successful in that realm). But Bill France Jr. doesn't quite fit. He could easily have been the next class. It feels like too much ass kissing, not enough spreading the love. It's the first class. There should have been tons of consideration across the field.
Seen in the Great Dismal Swamp
1. A dung beetle pushing actual dung.
2. Raccoon scat (it ate berries).
3. Hoof prints from deer!
4. Canine paw prints.
5. Tons of spiders. Luckily not in the path.
6. A great blue heron flying down the lane like it was the plane in North by Northwest.
7. More mosquitoes than should be allowed on this earth.
And then we drove to Virginia Beach and ate overpriced seafood while staring at the ocean.
Oh, total mileage walked in the swamp? 8 miles.
On the Job Interview Front
I don't know how it went, because I refuse to try and figure those things out anymore. It sucks that I can't even evaluate an interview, because what feels good or what feels bad you just can't judge, because even when you're the best candidate, you get kicked to the curb.
