Danica Patrick finished fourth (I think) in the Indy 500 yesterday. She ran many laps in the lead, the first woman ever to do so. You go, girl! I thoroughly enjoyed her success, and I’m not even a race fan.

Shifting gears, so to speak: I learned yesterday that the new EU constitution drew just one negative vote — France. That one vote kills the deal for everyone. A little poetic justice, perhaps?
