This edition of WRR&W is brought to you by the makers of power tools that can do serious damage in the hands of amateurs! Hey! At least I have my safety glasses on.*Midwestern Girl's bridal shower went off without a hitch last Saturday. Even the weather, which included rain, wind, and falling trees, managed to stay away from the shower site. The haul included items from almost every category except tools, which explains why menfolk head for the hardware store while the shower is in progress!
*Alas, on Sunday, another NASCAR race was rained out. Instead of rescheduling the race for the next day, couldn't they just hold off 'til the next weekend and just add the races together? Can you imagine adding two 500-mile races and coming up with a thousand-miler? Wow, it would be like "Road Warrior" and "Death Race 2000" rolled into one.
*In case anyone is still wondering, I actually didn't cut off my thumb as shown in the picture with this column. Truth is, I lost that digit as a child in a tragic thumbsucking incident, and, no, I don't want to talk about it!
*By the way, do monkeys have thumbs on their feet?
*In spite of all their attempts at keeping their native culture intact, I think illegal aliens coming across the Southern US border are rapidly becoming Americans. I mean, they're not even working legally and they go on strike?! That's about as Teamster as it gets! This coming from a proud former member (in good standing, I might add) of Local 618.
*Cardinals' 1st baseman Albert Pujols had about the most amazing April ever. Something like 14 HRs, several game-winning hits, and outstanding fielding are merely padding Fat Albert's already amazing baseball resume'. I never thought another St. Louis player could approach Stan Musial's status in the Gateway City, but if Albert stays healthy, he'll get a good run at it.
*Celebremos Cinco de Mayo! Hasta la vista!
