Jeff Gordon

Alright! Another Gordon fan has asked that I post about his "Drive for 5"...which, should've been in 2004. That's the year NASCAR changed the points system. He had the lead, until the top ten got scrunched together. If the old system had been in place (like it was the year before when Matt Kenseth won), Gordon would've won his fifth Cup.

The same could be said for 2006. This year, could've been "Seventh Heaven". He could've been looking at tying Petty and Earnhardt for the most Cups. Unfortunately, he's going for number 5 this year.

Ok, I'm a Gordon fan. And yes, I want him to grab his fifth championship. But has the points system been fair? It's been exciting. But I'm not sure it's fair.

Hopefully, for Gordon fans....he wins number 5 this year. Not sure he'll be around long enough to pass Petty's record of 200 wins (he's got 81), but he may be able to tie or pass the 7 Championship record.

Emmitt Otter and Fraggle Rock


We talked about a kids video, from the late 1970's. It's called, "Emmitt Otter's Jugband Christmas." I don't remember it. I did a little research on it, and found it's a muppet themed show.


It reminds me of "Fraggle Rock". I think that show was around in 1982. It was an HBO kids show. The characters lived underground. It was a great show!


Let me know if you remember "The Fraggles" and other kid shows!
