Jon nodded. “Grandfather was a champion stock car driver. That’s the only car he ever raced. A relic, by the time he retired.”

Avoiding the news is a sign of mental health, these days more so than usual. Thanks for the comment, Dale!
No kidding!
Well done on avoiding the news but what’s under the floorboards?
Good one!

Lovely twist at the end. Wasn’t expecting that!
