Wow great time watching motorcycle races at #flatoutfriday. The best class, next to "vintage", was "brakeless". Exactly what it sounds like. One races in this class was 84 years old. Stud. Also, 32 years together. Not so bad!

I am reading a new book on the Katyn forest massacre, "Surviving Katyn." Great stuff, but g-dang, Polish names are hard. Luckily, it has an 'easy' guide to pronunciation.
