16B: No Fenders Turns Simona d Silvestro’s Car Number

As it’s Kind of IndyCar to be Throwing A Party at Laguna seca…

 

Yeah, I know. Y’all are probably busy like Mwah “Watching,” Err listening to Indy Cars Season finale from Laguna Seca right now, instead of wanting to Hear about No Fenders turning Sweet 16 today!

 

And most likely I’m making too B-I-G of a Dealio’ out of this, Eh? Especially since I realize a City Doesn’t care about it’s Inhabitants, But! I found myself having a Wee Bitamyte  ‘O Melancholy over being “Locked Out” Financially of my Home City now some four years later. Since it was Seafair weekend in Ye Emerald City, also formerly known as The Jet city…

 

Even though Thar were Motor Races going on Ah-Plenty’. But this point really hit home when Hearing Josef Newgarden doing the Obligatory this is NTT IndyCar Driver Insert Name Here; Josef Newgarden from His Home City of Nashville, this is IndyCar Radio Network…

 

Whilst it’s Funny that I Didn’t even know I had another Birthday coming up! Until searching just three weeks prior thru last September’s No Fenders Blog Archive. Although it’ll forever be Zepptember’ in Honour of Seattle’s Classic Rock Station KZOK 102.5FM, which I Arse-sume is still on the Air? Whilst I also get a Kick outta the other Seattle Rock Station KISW 99.9FM’s calling the following month Rocktober, but I digress…

 

As I was searchin’ for what title I’d used for the last two West Coast IndyCar races, And Wallah! Thar was that title ‘bout turning Graham Rahal’s car number Staring at Me…

But I do have to say I’m definitely feeling a Wee Bitamyte’ Nihilistic right now Geddy! Having just read a recent Blogger’s Post of thanking just two of the current few IndyCar bloggers, whom I feel are “Cub bloggers!” Especially since I started Blogging some 2.75 years before said Blogger, and way before these two “Wookies!”

 

Making me ponder what’s the point of my having been Scribbling away furiously since Sept 11, 2006? Not to mention the prodigious amount ‘O Hours I pour weekly into creating “Fresh Content” for this Site. Since whatever Happened to Said Blogger’s “All Boats Rising” mantra, Eh?

 

Whilst naturally, when Blogmeister’ Miguel suggested I take up Blogging some Gory 16 years ago, little did I know how Integral a part of my Daily life it would become!

 

While I also Owe a Shout Out to former My Name’s IRL Blogger Jeffrey Iannucci, who not only was positive about my ‘lil No Fenders Blogsite, but inspired me to apply for IMS Credentials, which I was surprisingly granted Wayback in Gory 2009!

What’s that Geddy Lee? Stop being so Nihilistic? Yeah, I bought your My Favourite Headache album on CD 21 Gory Years ago! Uhm, what’s that about “Just Between the Ice ages Anyways?” As it’s Hard “Working at Perfect,” which is my favourite track on the Album…

Oh Yeah, I think 21 is some Neiderlander’s Brilliant Orange IndyCar number, Just Sayin’

 

As it’s Funny How Fast time Zoom Zooms by Here upon thoust mystical Isle ‘O Nofendersville! As can it really be four years ago that I was just settling into Thy Bungalow by The Sea and ecstatic over having my new Spectrum Cable TV service installed Justin-time’ for the 2018 Grand Prix of Portland IndyCar race.

 

As those were the Good ‘Ol Dazes when I looked forward to Paul Tracy in the Booth weekly. As now I just truly listen to All IndyCar races on the IndyCar Radio Network, provided my Interwebbs’ working!

And Do Not even get me started over Spectum’s Retarded telephone service. Like having No dial tone, or constantly Battling either the person on the other end Not being able to Hear me, or Visa Versa, Hello, Hello, Hello? Like Can You Hear Me Now Spectrum? Not to mention the Sickly Sweet Female voice saying We’re Sorry, Your Call did Not go Thru…

 

Uhm, Oh Yeah, I almost forgot Spectrum’s motto: Spectrum, We Care!

 

”Time is A Gypsy Caravan, Steals Away the Night to leave You Stranded in Dreamland, Distance is A long-range Filter, Memory, A Flickering light left behind in the Heartland…”

 

“We Are Only Immortal for A limited time…”

Otay, time to wrap up another meandering, waxing “Short” Ha Ha! Idyllic prose by your Humble Scribe Tomaso svribblin’ here upon thoust Isle ‘O Nofendersville, as somebody throw me a Lifejacket, please! Especially since it’s so G-Damn Hard to keep from tipping thoust Groceries into thee Drink when paddling in Choppy Seas…

 

Thus although doing this Blogging Gig seems to have become a week by week yearly exercise. Especially now when My ever decreasing typing speed, combined with my continuously faltering eyesight makes Blogging more 'N more challenging each year! Like Have I reminded Y’all I’m Blind lately?

 

Not to mention Ye gory Intrawoods’, (Internet) Blooger’ (Blogger.com) or my Putrid “New & Improved” Zoomtext Fusion 2022 Screen Reader “Zoey the Princess Warrior” AIN'T acting up or Blowin' Ah-gasket, SHEISA!

 

As I still plan upon sticking around until 2023, since it’s right round Ye Corner Mates! And I’m very intrigued over the forthcoming IMSA GTP Sports Cars “resurgence” next year with Acura, BMW, Cadillac and Porsche. Not to mention the FIA’s World Endurance Championship’s “Uptick” for it’s new Le Mans Hypercars (LMH) era “Convergence” seeing la Scuderia’, (Ferrari) Porsche, Toyota, Peugeot, Cadillac and the other Automobile Manufacturers, i.e.; Glickenhaus and the Grandfathered Alpine contesting Circuit de la Sarthe next June. Which will be celebrating it’s Centenary 24 Heurs du Mans outing. Complete with that modified “Next Gen” Hendrick Motorsports RASSCAR’ ZL-1 Camaro as it’s Garage 56th entry…

 

Hence, like the Drivers say after every race, Thanks to The Fans for showing up here in Nofendersville and reading my eclectic scribblings upon No Fenders All these years!

 

Since this Uber' eclectic mix 'N veritable Spin Cycle 'O finely honed Thomason' Tex-Mex Jambalaya of Wordsmithing wouldn't have been possible over thou seasons without A-L-L of the Usual suspects continued yearly support.

 

Led First 'N Foremost by Tacoma Bureau Chief Mary Ellen, the late Kuhnaidiun' lass Claire and Blogmeister' Miguel!, who keeps this Site Alive and makes All of my Zany Updates whenever requested!

 

Whilst I’d be remiss for not mentioning the untimely passing of Pixie The Wonderdog Wuf Wuf! Having celebrated Her One Year Anniversary this past May, appropriately over Indy 500 Qualie’ weekend. Whilst I listen to the next door neigbor’s Shitzu Barking away as I type this…

 

Not to mention Kuhnaidiun’ lass Claire who Died from Cancer at Age 40 now nearly three years ago. Along with another Good Friend Joanie who Died last Summer who I never got to see again after we went into Lockdown Wayback on March 13th, 2020…

 

But on the positive side, as I’ve scribbled previously. Mary Ellen’s got a great new Hoond’ who’s I affectionately nickname Hang 10’ Hilo, since He came from the Big Island. Who I eagerly look forward to “Seeing” every single time I have the opportunity to!

 

Along with contributions from Offical' Photographer CARPETS', Snowbyrd MJ', Randal, Thy Moniker King' and the Florentines Jeannie & Stevoe'. With continued assistance from Clyde & Nelie plus the still Mega' Killer official No Fenders logo provided by Artiste Dave!

 

Since like Melody Sheik brilliantly “Sings” in his Symphony of Science Masterpiece from a Dozen years ago. Uhm, who’s IndyCar Number is that? “We Are All connected!”
