since there seem to be a lot of Political Posts this am- I thought to myself why not join in-

628 pages of relief bill read aloud because of senator

Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., forced the Senate to read the entirety of the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 bill on the Senate floor, further delaying a vote on the legislation.

Took nearly 11 hours

This man is a total ass- and he was the only one to sit thru the entire reading- did I say ass- I meant asshole

Remember me ?? I am Drew Bledsoe

The Patriots were completely valid in selecting Bledsoe first overall in the 1993 NFL Draft. The Washington State product was a very good quarterback for the better part of his career — making four Pro Bowl squads and throwing for 44,611 yards in 14 seasons. Unfortunately for Bledsoe, the injury bug always seemed to hit him at the most inopportune times. In 2001, Bledsoe went down with a leg injury in the second game of the season. He was replaced by a guy named Tom Brady. Bledsoe never earned his starting job again.

Bledsoe had a couple of solid years playing for the Buffalo Bills following his ousting from New England. He did earn a Super Bowl ring for his part with the Patriots in 2001 but could never re-establish himself as a top-flight QB in the league. Bledsoe has since entered the wine business and helped co-found the Doubleback Winery. He also serves as an offensive coordinator for Summit High School in Bend, Oregon.

I have read the book 4-5 times and have seen the movie at least that many times- it never gets old

Ernest Hemingway completes his short novel The Old Man and the Sea. He wrote his publisher the same day, saying he had finished the book and that it was the best writing he had ever done. The critics agreed: The book won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953 and became one of his bestselling works.

On March 4th 1936 Jim Clark, Formula I World motor racing champion was born at Kilmany, Fife.

I usually have people question the place of birth for Jim Clark as many believe he was born in Duns, the facts are he was born in Fife to a farming family, he attended Kilmany primary school before they moved to a Scottish Borders farm of Edington Mains, near Chirnside, Duns aged about six.

His early contact with motor racing was as a navigator in the 1955 International Scottish Rally. His interest aroused, he was soon driving in local events, having joined the Berwick and District Motor Club.

Locally, he raced at Charterhall, co-founding the Border Motor Racing Club with Ian Scott-Watson. Working his way through the grades, he appeared in Formula 2 events, and was soon into Formula 1, driving his first race for Lotus at the Dutch Grand Prix in 1960. Mechanical failures plagued Clark’s Lotus throughout the next two years, but in 1963 he dominated the World Championship with an amazing seven wins in the ten race series to take the title.

 
The following year was less successful, with Clark losing out to Hill and Surtees in the last race of the series. 1965, however, saw Clark back as World Champion and as winner of the Indianapolis 500 as well, having led for 190 of the 200 laps. Thereafter, he won at Zandvoort in 1967 and in South Africa in 1968. This was to be his last win, for on the fifth lap of a Formula 2 race at Hockenheim in Germany, his car flew off the track into the woods and he was killed. No satisfactory cause was ever found for the accident, though many theories were put forward.

He died on April 7th 1968.

Jim is buried in Chirnside Graveyard, near to his home.
The Jim Clark Room, the museum in his memory, is in Duns, the town which made him a Freeman in 1965. Kilmany honours Clark with a memorial statue.

At the time of his death, aged 32, he had won more Grand Prix races (25) and achieved more Grand Prix pole positions (33) than any other driver. In 2009, The Times placed Clark at the top of a list of the greatest-ever Formula One driver
