Dabum. Some OT/ OK. Sports, first. Although as a kid I was an Indians fan. Never bet on another sports contest after the 1954 World Series.<LOL> My all time Bo Sox fav is Williams. Saw his that last game of his on TV when he hit the home run. A few years ago found a copy of his small out of print book published many years ago about how to hit. If you've never read it? It's worth turning over a few stones to find a copy. No kidding. Really a great read for any lover of the game, no matter what your fav team was! In it, he has some first hand stories and his personal perspective on some of the other great players. Really unique. When I was working some geology work in the southern Illinois oil patch in the late 80s we also went to a lot of Card Games. The museum in Busch Stadium has a great display covering the amazing hitting accomplishments (in the 1920s) of a real giant of the game who later became one of Williams mentors, Rogers Hornsby. That's another must for anybody traveling through St Louis and can get in there to see it. Also bot a video about Musial at the Museum. It has a clip of Williams interviewing Musial, after they were both retired. It's a riot.<g> Re: Tape reading? Hey man! You're a better ST trader than lil' ole me judging from all the stuff I've seen you posting. AND in terms of something that's easily explainable in a post here? Your stuff looks a lot more systematic than my style which is as I've said many time isn't. It's just to intuitive and seat of the pants. So why don't you go into detail about how you seem to post better results than just about anybody else I've seen on other threads. Regards, Isopatch

Debum way OT (car racing) Just by pure chance, last year, while on the way to Birmingham, Alabama, I happened to drive by the Talladega racetrack on I-20 while the Talladega 500 was actually being run. The experience put me though a series of surprises, beginning with the highway (deserted), the number of cars parked around the track (mind-boggling), but most of all by the sound of the race. Couldn’t see a thing of course but the sound was amazing -- obviously powerful engines obviously max’d out ---all sorts of Doppler vibes ---something was going fast. So, yep, I got a little taste of what it was all about. I’m a bicycle man myself, but guess someday I’ll have to get me a ticket to one of them races….
