Note from the Editor:
I got into my second round of street-racing this year, my first having been during senior high. This time, I was going around in a vehicle much more capable of evading any ‘authorities’ creeping around with the intent to break up the competitions and show-offs; I was in my very-own jacked-up off-roading Jeep. I couldn’t race the thing at all, but I could sure cut through greenbelts, ford underpass streams, and drive up steep highway shoulders, knocking most things out of my way.
The street-races this time were just as good as they had been, growing up; they were larger and longer-lasting than those in that movie Fast and the Furious. I remember observing several of them that lasted through the entire night, and barely making it home, having grown so tired and bleary-eyed. It’s no small wonder I didn’t crash at some point.
Something was missing, though; there were babes, but not enough, and some were fun-slutty, but not enough. The vehicles were fine; they were pretty colorful, impressive, and well-driven. The locations were alright, too; they had been chosen by seasoned locals who knew the suburbs and downtown haunts, where all the right conditions existed for back-alley and straightaway drag-races. I stepped away from it all much sooner and more comfortably than I had from my first super-frustrating hormone-spiked round back in 2000, all these things on my mind, I bound by everything to rearrange them in the best and permanent ways to come.

Poking Fun at Fake News:
A report to Congress started at about this time would claim the U.S. had been attacked by hackers in such a massive event that it was thought to have resulted in the illegal viewing and copying of information in virtually all of its industries. Something had happened, and a lot of networks had been cleverly accessed, all at the same time, probably all of their sensitive data being put to use elsewhere, far beyond the jurisdiction and control of the “superpower” United States, …but it wasn’t the Chinese that did it. It’s so easy to blame countries everyone has already heard of, and has already been conditioned to question, hate, and fear.
Who was really responsible for breaching the entire nation; all its networks and biggest facilities, all at once? Even the Chinese can’t do that. It takes A.I.
