There will be a breaking point soon enough....after heading down to Breezy Point wed at the crack of dawn to assess the situation and help family and friends I headed back home(live behind Belmont racetrack)....when I tell you I have not seen police presence like this since 9/11, I am not lying...tried to fill tank up from yesterday round 4pm-10pm to no avail....and not being the patient man like some, I went home defeated...all the while full well knowing I had to be in Saratoga by noon today....I am lucky, I kept power....but the tide is turning in a sour way, I tell you...I witnessed 2 fist fights yesterday...one between women...!!!.....over gas! Is this what we have been reduced to?.....I won't pretend to offer any solution....just trying to stay out of the way...I will tell you this, your humble narrator took a brief 2 hr nap this morning and awoke to find himself on one of these gas lines that have been spoken about at 4:45am this morning...found the gas station on the corner of Jericho and tulip ave. in Floral Park stretched out for over a mile..easily...up and pumping ....running on fumes I made it to the pump 2 hrs later...and on the road at 7:15 sharp w/mommy and baby in tow....when I tell you I never made it up to The Spa in record time, I would not be lying,,,struggling for a reason at this present moment on why I should return....and just an addendum on this rant, after brief hello's w/family and friends upon arrival I was asked if I was ready for the snow on Wednesday ?,,,,,,have to love them huh?.....just hoping for a solution downstate sooner rather than later.....and on a lighter note, cuz we all need distractions....one of my fillies is running in the 9th race@Finger 'fuck' Lakes ....#5 Argument's Sake...she has taken to the new scenery since her move out of town is all I'll say...cheers and let there be some peace to man, woman and child ASAP...
