Surviving The Monsoon Season

Last week I flew from JFK to LAX and the continent was covered in clouds from Long Island to the Pacific with the only break in the cloud cover over the southwestern desert. All of this moisture has manifested itself in massive amounts of rain that have pounded the northeast for the last month. The temps have been cool and Al Gore is starting to look like an overweight internet inventor with a carbon footprint the size of the Belmont infield. The effect on racing is that the Belmont cards have been pulverized. Even a handicapper that is borderline possessed by racing have found that the scratch marred racing programs are uninteresting. Add in the a triple crown hangover and it may be a good time to catch up with a good book or update up your resume.
