Any racing devotee of whom I've taken to
calling 'DER TERMINATOR, nee Michael Schumacher surely knows what day today is
for the seven times F1 world champion, right?
Alas, as I was gonna scribble another
ridiculously long yarn about my past affinity for Herr Schumacher, I've simply
ran outta gusto, since after all we're supposedly still reveling in the final
days of Holiday...
As its strange to think one
year ago exactly, I was bringing Michael home, after another outing down
south to 'Awntie Harriet's, who many, many years ago was a close Schumacher ally
'O mine, although that Harriet's long gone; sadly having departed this world
exactly one month ago at the momentous age of 95... Whilst obviously thee old
Michael is never coming back either!
Although I suppose, like my parents would
say: "NO News is good News," eh? As nary a peep upon Schuey's
condition, as perhaps he'll soon fade from all of our collective radar screens?
Especially now that a new German seeks to write his own chapter of history at
la Scuderia...
