WOW that is good.

Further reminder that, while we are all blessed with the same 26 keys on the ol' keyboard, a precious few know how to unscramble just the right combination.

I forgot that Hinton was the one trying to unseal the Earnhardt autopsy photos. He was trying to follow up on his series about NASCAR safety.

That was a lonely, lonely place to be in Nascar-world. And he had every right to be there.
