Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for February 13, 2021

I gave him one of my Courtesy Cards — Andrew Jackson’s picture is on the front.

Trying to figure out how knowing details about Doug’s dad’s job (both city and county) might possibly figure into the story.

Throw the book at this kid, with 30 days for the smug feeling of being privileged. And a reprimand to the cop.

P1, If R&W slow this story down any more it’ll be going backwards.

P2, He had me at hello.

P3, So, he teaches the pursuit of speediness.

In all reality , Let’s go Racing, Boogity Boogity !

P2- 111 sin? Secret code for Dougie’s Dad as one of Chief Lind’s henchmen?

I can speak from experience, cops tell the dads when they pull over the kids. That’s usually worse than a ticket!

P 3: “…I told him that I was late for practice with state champion coach Gil Thorp…”

Wouldn’t a cop park BEHIND the car it was pulling over and put its flashing lights on to keep someone from running into the back of the offender’s car?

“….plus he’s on Vito from Goshen’s payroll, just like I am. You think I can afford all these whips with my dad teaching Driver’s Ed? I’ve been keeping the score down when Vito gives Vic the V sign. Point spread, baby.”

It’s been snowing for 4 days now and the street still is not covered. Does Mopman do snow removal too?? Kudos

P1 Thank you Captain Ovour

P2 Ever seen a grown man naked

P3 Doug reveals he is a member of racing’s Lucky Sp@&m Club with the Petty’s, Unser’s Antretti’s, Hill’s, Villneuves and of course, the Schumachers

And second…?

An example of white privilege ?

That cop is kind of an ass. He didn’t give him a ticket but he left him stranded, stuck in a snowdrift. And speaking of stranded, I’d never leave you stranded without a daily Mopped Up Thorp.

Well never is maybe too bold a promise…how about rarely?

Per Suit driving except casual Fridays.

60’s flash back time: Slow down, you’re movin’ to fast

gotta make the season last,

laying a patch on cobble stones,

reading Gil Thorp is kinda groovy
