TwoGrand Daddy Racingevents both happen this coming Sunday.First it is theFormula 1 Grand Prix De Monacoat around 8 a.m. Eastern time in the United States.Then it is theIndianapolis 500starting at 12 noon Eastern Standard time.I love F1racing,but I have to admit,if it wasn't for theIndy 500I probably wouldn't enjoy racing as much as I do.The
Indy 500
was my first introduction into open wheel racing.
(Vintage 2007 Indy 500 car.)When I first started watching,theIndy 500it had some of the most exciting standing starts I ever saw.That is one of the reasons I loveF1so much.
They still have standing starts.
F1 drive on courses especially made for racing,and of course street courses like
Monaco.But I must give theIndy 500its due.Even though it is a oval course there still is a lot of attrition the drivers must overcome.Here is the long winded"Associated Press"account of the1911 Indianapolis 500won byRay Harroun.

INDIANAPOLIS SPEEDWAY, May 30 — Eighty-five thousand spectators saw forty of the fastest motor cars on earth started at 10 o'clock this morning in the great 500-mile speed battle in which one man lost his life and three others were seriously injured. Johnny Aitkin, in the National, jumped into the lead at the end of the first mile but withdrew after fighting for 325 miles of the contest. David Bruce Brown in the Fiat held the lead at the end of 100 miles, but his time was well behind the record of Teddy Tetzlaff, which is 1h. 14m. 29s. Spencer Wishart, in the Mercedes, was pushing Brown hard at the end of 125 miles but the Fiat driver held his place. Tire trouble hindered the Mercedes, and Brown continued to gain, only to lose his place later in the race to Harroun, in the Marmon, and Mulford, in the Lozier. In the first lap the cars strung out all around the course. Aitken, in the National, held the lead, with De Palma in the Simplex second, and Wishart, in the Mercedes, third. The leaders, pressing the tail-enders of the preceding lap, made the race right at its beginning an enormous and desperate whirligig. The thousands of spectators leaned forward in their seats and yelled wildly as their favorites passed. The great bowl of the speedway was filled with the deafening roar of the explosions of the forty motors as the hooded drivers, bending low over their steering wheels, pushed their engines to the farthest. At the end of the first 150 miles of the 500-mile automobile race at (word illegible) today, one mechanician had been killed and a driver perhaps fatally injured. Four of the forty cars that started had been withdrawn because of breakdowns. David Bruce-Brown, driving a Fiat, was leading a long grind that promised to continue until 5:30 o'clock this afternoon. S.P. Dickson, mechanician for Arthur Greiner of Chicago, driving an Amplex car, lost his life in an upset on the back stretch in the thirteenth mile of the race. Greiner suffered several broken ribs and perhaps concussion of the brain. Surgeons at the field hospital would not make a statement as to the probable outcome of his injuries. The accident was caused by the throwing of a front tire. The machine skidded to the infield and whirled completely around, tearing off both back wheels. Dickson was thrown against a fence. His body was terribly mangled. Greiner was hurled to the track. An examination at the field hospital, and a report made by the attending physicians, gives Greiner more than a fair chance to recover. Bruce-Brown's time for the 150 miles was 1h. 59m. 12s., which is a new record, the old mark being 2h 1m. (detail illegible) by Joe Dawson of Atlanta last year. The cars were strung out behind the leaders all around the two and one-half mile course. The scorching pace burned up the tires and most of the cars had stopped one or more times at the pits for changes. Several of the drivers apparently preferred to keep up a steady grind two or three laps behind the leaders. There were few sensational brushes for leadership. After the two hundredth mile several of the pilots dropped out to rest a few minutes and relief drivers took their places in the cars. Patsche drove the Marmon "Wasp" for Harroun for several laps, and Lindenstruth substituted for Hearne in a Benz. In a mix-up of Lyttle Apperson, Knight's, Westcott and Jagersburger's Case, directly in front of the grand stand, John Glover, Knight's mechanician, suffered an injury to the spine. The others escaped anything more than bruises by a wonderfully fortunate set of circumstances. The Case car broke its steering gear and skidded to one side of the track. Larroneur, the mechanician, fell out and the car passed over his leg. The cars behind made desperate efforts to escape a collision and all of them swerved by safely except the Westcott and the Apperson, which turned over. Eleven cars had withdrawn because of accidents and breakdowns within the two hundred and fiftieth mile was reached. Thus left a field of twenty-nine cars to finish the last half of the races. The entries withdrawn up to this point were: Louis Disbrow, Pope-Hartford; Harry Knight, Westcott; Joe Jagersburger, Case; Arthur Chevrolet, Buick; Charles Basle, Buick; Harry Grant, Alco, Ellis, Jackson; Teddy Tetzlaff, Lozier; Herb Lyttle, Apperson; Caleb Bragg, Fiat; Arthur Greiner, Amplex. Ray Harroun (Marmon) had taken the lead from David Bruce-Brown at the 200-mile mark. Harroun's time for that distance was 3hrs, 43m., 21s. Brown was second and Ralph Mulford (Lozier) was third. At 300 miles Ray Harroun continued to lead. His time was 4hrs, 3m, 24s. Ralph Mulford, in the Lozier, was second, and Bruce-Brown, in the Fiat, third. Ray Harroun, in his Marmon, had a lead of about three laps at 350 miles. His time was 4 hrs, 44m. 14s. Ralph Mulford, Lozier, second; Joe Dawson, Marmon, third. Twenty-eight of the original starters continued in the race at this time. At 400 miles Harroun, in the Marmon, was well in the lead. His time for that distance was 5hrs. 22m. 15s. Ralph Mulford, in the Lozier, was second, and Bruce-Brown, with the Fiat, third. Twenty-seven cars remained to drive the last 100 miles of the race. The average time made by Harroun in his Marmon for the first 400 miles was seventy-seven miles an hour. As the cars dashed into the last 100 miles of the race it appeared that the drivers, instead of weakening from fatigue, and the nervous strain, gained assurance. They took more chances in attempting to lead each other at the turns and the crowd, excited by the mishaps and the hairbreadth escapes of the day, watched the cars eagerly as they turned in and out of the home stretch and the back stretch. At 470 miles, Harroun, Marmon, led, Bruce-Brown, Fiat, second, Mulford, Lozier, third, Dawson, Marmon, fourth, and De Palma, Simplex, fifth. At 480 miles the three leading cars were less than thirty seconds apart. Mulford, in the Lozier, raced ahead of Bruce-Bowen, in the Fiat, for second, at 480 miles. Harroun, Marmon, in the lead, was being crowded by Mulford; time, 6hrs. 25m. The thousands of spectators in the stands rose to their feet as the three leaders in the race entered the final 20 miles. Harroun (Marmon) was leading with Bruce-Brown only half a mile behind, and Mulford (Lozier) trailing Bruce-Brown about the same distance. Bruce-Brown gained on Harroun and it was apparent that the finish would be very close. The Marmon "Wasp" made only four stops during the entire run, each time to change tires on a rear wheel. Each time oil and gasoline tanks were filled to prevent stopping for fuel. After one of the early stops Patsche relieved Harroun at the wheel for a short time. Harroun was born at Spartansburg, Wis., and is 29 years old. He holds a long list of records and has won many trophies. Harroun won more firsts than any other driver during 1910. He retired from the racing game at the close of the season but was induced to compete in this 500-mile event. He has won among other trophies the 200-mile trophy, the Atlanta speedway trophy, Atlanta Automobile Association trophy, and the two hour's race for all trophies of the Los Angeles Motodrome. As Harroun drove up to the Marmon pit he was surrounded by a wildly enthusiastic crowd. He ran his car into the infield and stopped. "Gee, I'm hungry," he said, as he crawled out from under the steering wheel. Asked to make a formal statement the victor in the first 500-mile event ever run on a speedway said: "All credit is due my car for the victory. At no time was the throttle wide open and I relied wholly on consistent high speed to win for me over occasional bursts in the back stretch. The weather was noticeably warm, although I did not suffer in any way from the heat. "The last hundred miles was by far the easiest of the entire run and the car was less difficult to handle on the turns. At first there was a tendency to slip, which increased toward the 200-mile mark but from that time I had little trouble in holding the car to its course. "In my estimation the limit is reached at 500 miles and is entirely too long for the endurance of the driver."

Like All Struggling Writers
I know I haven't written anything of significance lately,but like all struggling writers,I have a really good excuse.It's not because I have"Writers Block"or anything like that.It's because I am actually taking the time to edit my work!If you have read myPostsover the years you know that I make a lot ofGrammarandSpelling Errors.I blame myHyper-Activity.I am always in such a hurry to get my thoughts down on paper,or in this case,on myBlog,that when I am finished I just go onto the next project.Not looking over the finished material. Since I am trying to find aLiterary Agentand I refer them to thisBlogto see what I like to write about,I figure it is timeand a really good idea to edit all my"Short Stories & Flash Fiction,""Poetry,""The Man From Mars Weekly Serial,""Why Should I Die? - A Novelette,""True Life Stories,"and"The Hauenstein Philosophy,"postings.
Even though my numbers tell me that people don't seem to mind that I make so manyGrammatical Errors,think how many more readers I will have when I clear up all those mistakes!
This is,I Hope My Stories Make Sense To YouEven When I Am In A HurryJim Hauenstein,

"Home" And "Pull Downs Arrows" Again
The list of"Home"and the"Pull Down Arrows"you see,right under the heading,Two Buck Howie,when you you look at myBlogon a cell phone,are some of the best written material I have.You should try one of the pull downsand take a look once in awhile!
The first one is a link to purchase my eBook calledNo Return Address.The second"Home"and"Pull Down"has links to67flash fictionand short stories I've written.The third has13 Linksto poetry.The fourth hasLinksto my weekly serial I wrote calledThe Man From Mars. The fifth has links to the8 Chaptersof myNovelettecalledWhy Should I die?The sixth hasTrue Life Storieswhich have happened to me over the years.The seventhand final "Home"with a"Pull Down"is the"Hauenstein Philosophy."When I started thisBlogI set it up for people to comeand read it on their computer.Unfortunately,Google's Blogspotdoesn't let you design how yourBloglooks on a cell phone!So,to really capture the feel of myBlog,I suggest you take a look at it on a tabletor a computer once in awhile.You will be surprised to find out that I also have10 Music Videoson myBlogwhich the cell phone version doesn't show you at all!

It Was Surreal
One true story.Brian Kroske,
who was one of my closet friends during the 1980s
and the drummer in the band
Politixs,
which I was also in,
went out with me one night to a bar.
The place was crowded.
We had few beers
and were about to leave the place when a fight broke out.
Brian
and I were in the back of the place
and we could see,
throughout the bar,
the chain reaction of fights spilling over into other groups.
We knew we had to get out of there before the
Police
arrived.
I was 6 feet tall,
200 pounds at the time.
Brian was 5 foot 10 inches,
weighing in at 230 pounds.
I got behind him watching our rear for an attack as he punched his way through the bar for the front door.
With
Police Sirens
blaring,
us punching our way out,
all of a sudden on the junk box as loud as possible could be,
the songBallroom Blitz
came on by
The Sweet!It wasSurreal.
This is,
Remembering The Glory Days
Jim Hauenstein,
And,
“Rebel children, I urge you, fight the turgid slick of conformity with which they seek to smother your glory.”

I got behind him watching our rear for an attack as he punched his way through the bar for the front door.
With
Police Sirens
blaring,
us punching our way out,
all of a sudden on the junk box as loud as possible could be,
the songBallroom Blitz
came on by
The Sweet!It wasSurreal.

Privacy?
Remember whenPrivacymeant something in your family?Did yourParentsever tell you not to give out personal information over the telephone?Were you told not to give your true nameor location to someone on theInternet,on yourPlayStation,orXbox?Or do you tell your children about these precautionary tales?You probably have heard thatFacebooksells your information to all kinds ofTracking Companiesso theseCompaniescan send you advertisement that will influence yourPurchasing Power,Voting,and even yourCharitable Contributions.Let me tell you something,Facebookis not the only one.Apple,Google,Cable & Satellitecompanies do the same thing.Oh,and those little apps you like put on your phone for fun,likeAngry Birds & Candy Crush,they steal your information right off your phone!
Seemingly simple mobile games made us all way too comfortable with giving away our personal information.
By Kaitlyn Tiffany @kait_tiffany kaitlyn.tiffany@vox.com For Vox.com
"The way mobile games collect information about their users, and the details of what type of information they’re collecting, remains incredibly opaque. To some extent, Rovio and its peers may not even know exactly what they’re collecting about their users or how the data is being exploited, thanks to the way software has evolved in the smartphone era. Mobile games are full of other companies’ code, a more efficient way of creating something cheap and functional and cute than building it from scratch. The fact that it’s all so confusing is kind of the point, obviously. And as a result, mobile games have escaped the level of scrutiny we’ve applied to social media companies, despite being — as a category — nearly equally popular and far more likely to be used by children."How can these developers do this you might ask?It's all in theEULA!The End-User Licensing Agreement.When was the last time you read one of these?Never right?Sorry to burst your bubble on your cellphonebut if try turning off all theTrackingandData Miningyour phone does of your information,nothing will work!It's in theEULA.You canJailbreakyour phone,but I can't promote anything that might be illegalor,if you do it incorrectly,damage your phone.That's up to you to decide.
About that privacy thing I thought we had when I was a kid.Remember theWhite Pages?That big book of phone numbersand addresses that you had to pay not to be included?And what about thePost Office?They have been selling your currentand new addresses,if you move,to companies,since their inception.How do you think those companies,
who send you all that junk mail,know your name?For a dollar I am able to look up your complete history as long as I can accurately spell your nameand know the city you are currently living in.On some search engines I just need your namebut they charge a little more since they will bring up everyone with the same name.Privacy?To the true meaning of the word,I don't think we ever had it.And in the future?I believe we will have even less of it.
This is,I Know Where You LiveJim Hauenstein,

The Five Best Posts Of The Month Of March 2019
I am falling behind again onThe Five Best Posts Of The Month!I haven't done 3rd month of2019yet so they are.The Five Best Posts Of The Month Of March, 2019!
The Fifth Best Post Of The Month Of March, 2019 Is:GenMy Story about Genetic Enhancements and Designer Babies we will see in the not too distant future. How one Mother refuses the enhancements and what happens to the family. By the way, the baby girl's name is Gen.
The Fourth Best Post Of March, 2019 Is:Big Man On Campus The true story on how one of my Grandsons found a $20 bill on the ground after we left the beach one day and how he bought food for his Aunt and himself, gave me $3 for gas, and gave $5 to his Dad when he was picked up.
The Third Best Post Of March Is:Mine Was Tainted A re-post of a story originally called IQ UQ We All Q 4N IQ. It is my humorous way of saying how my IQ Test wasn't good enough to get into the British Mensa Society.
The Second Best Post Is:Mobile Version vs. Web Version My explanation of why the Web Version of my Blog is so much better than the Mobile Version since the Mobile Version doesn't show some of the features you will see on the Web Version. Like the 10 Music Videos I have, "James's Quotes," and the Blog Archive. It also explains how to sign up as a Follower on the Web Version. [image error]And Now, The Number One Post Of The Month Of March, 2019 Is:Is This Not Fantastic? My science fiction story about an archeologist's discovery of a living intelligent species on another planet, his observations of that species, and the precautions he takes to make sure he is not discovered by the inhabitants. Plus, there is a twist at the end and I am sure you can figure out the twist by the picture below.
There you have it.The Five Best Posts Of The Month Of March, 2019!Thank you so much for making two out of the five post,stories that I have written,your favorite of the month.
This is,I Am Encouraged When My Stories Make The Top Five Each Month,Jim Hauenstein,

Science Fiction Today Becomes Tomorrow's Reality
I have been working on my writing
and sending out my newest book to
Literary Agents.
So to past the time,
here is a

*****
You want to be the leader ofMen & Women?You want to findEnlightenment?Or,do you need aPick-Me-Upin the morning to get those creative juices moving?Get the bookTao Te Ching,look up a webpage onLao Tzu,or on the religionTaoism.See if some of this ancient wisdom,from the
6th Century BC,can't do the trick for you.
"A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves."
-Lao Tzu -
"If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present."
"Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them. That only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like."
"Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love."
"Life and death are one thread. The same line viewed from different sides."
"The snow goose need not bathe to make itself white. Neither need you do anything, but be yourself."
"Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is Enlightenment."
This is, Wondering What I Can Come Up With As Far As A Really Good Quote Is
So Everyone Will Be Quoting Me Three Thousand Years From Now,Jim Hauenstein,
And,
"My body is like a Temple in Nepal. It is sacred, but has a lot of damage from the earthquake of my youth."- Jim Hauenstein -

Babylonian Calendar
I want to go back to theBabylonian Calendar!They started the 12 Monthcalendarand added a13 Monthevery 17 to 19 years called a Intercalary Month to keep the calendar consistent with the cycles of theMoon.They also started giving aDay Of The Monthoff to all of its citizens.Counting from the new moon, the Babylonians celebrated every seventh day as a "holy-day", also called an "evil-day," meaning "unsuitable" for prohibited activities. On these days officials were prohibited from various activities and common men were forbidden to "make a wish", and at least the 28th was known as a "rest-day." - Wikipedia -But the part that intrigues me the most is that their calendar was only360 Days Long!They would celebrate the beginning of the new year by having a party from the end of the previous calendar year,For 5 Days!As told byBill NyeonCosmic Queries.https://castbox.fm/vd/90281674
This is,Saying I Would Love A 5 Day Party If I Was 20 Years Old Again,Jim Hauenstein,
And,
“And to think of this great country in danger of being dominated by people ignorant enough to take a few ancient Babylonian legends as the canons of modern culture. Our scientific men are paying for their failure to speak out earlier. There is no use now talking evolution to these people. Their ears are stuffed with Genesis.”

New Concept Album By The Red Rocker
It's about money,greed,enlightenment,and truth.So it starts about money being the root of all eviland greed.It goes through a guy's lifeand his horrible experiences before he gets enlightenedand realizes that it's not money that's the problem,it's greed.Money is actually beautiful.With money you can save the world,you can stop a war,you can feed the poor,you can heal the sick,you can make people who are downand out happy by paying their bills.Money can do wonderful things.It's just that most people are greedy.- Sammy Hagar -By Jackie Moe in the Inland Empire Magazine
