I’m sure most of you have heard the saying “Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder”. As I often do, when working on these Legendtorials, I did a little research about the background of that saying, or, in essence, those sentiments. I was somewhat surprised with the information I found.  I always assumed it was good old Will Shakespeare who coined the phrase for one of those required High School readings we all used to dread, or most of us, anyway.  Instead, I found the original use of the sentiment, although not in the exact words, was in the third century B.C. in Greek.   Literally, the statement means the “perception of beauty is subjective”.  Read On!

Well, after a Talladega Marathon, or racing and raining, I’m just ready to spout off opinions about what I observed over the weekend. I’m going to talk about “Duck Boy” and “Candy Man” so those of you who are fans of those two stand by. The Legend intends to shock the listening audience tonight for sure.
First, an “observation”. Carl Edwards, better known to me as “Duck Boy” was in the booth with the broadcast crew for the Nationwide race on Saturday. While I have had my issues with some of the stunts he has pulled on the race track, and while I am not particularly impressed with his ability to “flip off” the entire grandstand when he wins, I want to offer my opinion of his talents in the broadcast booth.

This is not intended as a political statement or opinion, although, Lord knows, I usually have no problem letting anyone know exactly where I stand on political issues.  This site is not the proper venue for political expression as we are not only made up for folks with diverse political opinions but we also have members around the world in all different political situations.   It was, however, a statement from our President, you know that guy who lives in The White House, that caused me to focus my attention on the subject matter of tonight.

I would like to take a minute to remind everyone of the Auction benefit for Rodney Cook this coming Saturday, April 27^th.  My good friend, Kenneth Smithey, along with Cory Latham, are holding this auction to raise money to benefit Rodney in the fight of his life.  Not only is this a worthwhile cause, but Kenneth is a good friend of mine from way back and if he’s involved, I know it’s going to be a really good event.  You can go to www.funwoodauction.com and look at some of the items included in the auction.  You will be amazed by what has been donated to this cause.   The Auction will be held at The Rock Church, 1901 Barnes Street, Reidsville, NC beginning at 10:00 a.m. Saturday.  If you want more information, call Kenneth Smithey at 336-344-8400.

It’s been almost two weeks ago that RacersReunion started a daily post in The Forum entitled “A Racing History Minute”.  The series is intended to go back to the specific date each day and recap a racing event from that date.  Thanks to members like Dave Fulton, Randy Myers, Laverne Zachary, Jim Streeter and Chase known on RacersReunion as “toomuchcountry”, each Forum entry has become a further enhanced “history minute” from the personal recollections or records of those individuals.

I just have to start off this week’s Legendtorial with this tidbit.  Remember all the rave reviews Danica got for getting the pole for the Daytona 500?  Remember how so many in the press, especially a few on the FOX Network who shall remain nameless, stopped just short of stating that Danica could surely walk across Lake Lloyd because she was able to capture the pole for the 500.  Notwithstanding the hundreds, if not thousands of folks who believe NASCAR rigged that Pole Position, Read On!

“Hey Grandpa, what’s for supper?”  How many of you used to watch the show “Hee Haw” on television, or, perhaps, if you have certain channels available in your area you can still watch it today.  Back in the day, I enjoyed the show and even today, the couple times I’ve watched Roy Clark, Read On!
