That's right, for those of you who are out of the loop. 7-11 has converted a dozen of its stores into Kwik-E-Marts in promotion for the Simpsons Movie. Since I live in Dallas, I was lucky enough to go to this Kwik-E-Mart, and yes, that man did check me out, and he did say "thank you, come again".

In sailing news, The World Championships are going on now for Olympic Qualifying. I don't follow the Olympic classes too much right now, but I suppose I should note it. What's your favorite Olympic Class Boat? Mine's the 49er, by far. Do you think they should add any other classes to the Olympics? Perhaps some large keelboats?
Well now that the Swiss have successfully defended the Cup, they are making decisions for the future of the AC. They are currently deciding if they will host it in Valencia again, and what the new boat will be. Yes, that's right, there will be a NEW boat. 80 feet, harder to sail, and faster. YES!!!
What would you add to the AC rules for number 33? Bring back the nationality requirments? 2 years between the cups? More international acts? I say yes to all three. Although, I do like having the cup every 4 years becuase it gives smaller, new to sailing countries time to build a campaign. I also like no nationality requirments for the same reason. I understand both sides of the issue, but come on. Let's keep the tradition.
