Dumb news from Indiana:
Indianapolis' 500 Mile Race, which was run on Memorial Day
from 1911 until 1974, will get off at 13:00 EDT today, the Sun-
day of Memorial Day Weekend, according to its new schedule,
which means now it is never run on Memorial Day, which was

changed from May 30 in 1970 to the last Monday in May.  Or-
iginally it was called
Decoration Day, from its inception in 18-
68. 
The real curiosity is that  tomorrow,  the  last  Monday  in
May, will  be  May  30.  That happens about once every seven
years. 

The race  used to begin at 11 a.m. but now begins at 1 p.m. ac-
cording to a change in 2005 to improve television ratings.

Dear Eleanor:
                            After more than 40 years of devotion to my husband,
                            I have finally realized what a stonehearted jerk he is.
                            I have done everything in my power to love,  respect
                            and encourage him.    But I have fallen into a pattern
                            of picking up the pieces of my heart and overlooking
                            my own hurt in order to give him another chance and
                            keep the peace in our home.


                            All of this is "not important" to him, as he has told me
                            numerous times.  My marriage is terribly lonely.  Year
                            after year  his disinterest and disregard for my feelings
                            has chipped away at the love I once had.  I have fought
                            hard to stay in his life; and he tells me, "So what?" and
                            "Leave if you want to."  My pleadings fall on deaf ears,
                            and he refuses to discuss it.


                            I have raised our children and worked beside him and
                            also outside the home.   I have contributed as much as
                            he has to build our life together.  This is obviously not
                            how I envisioned our retirement,  but I've had enough
                            and am finally ready to begin a new life without him.

                            Where do I start?
                                                                                              Beyond Sad
Dear Beyonde:
                             DIVORCE.  Keep the will.

Dear Eleanor:
                            My sister and I have always been close.  She's married to a man
                            I have always thought of as domineering and arrogant. I suspect
                            also that he's emotionally abusive,  from things she has confided
                            over the years.  These include days of the silent treatment, refus-
                            ing to celebrate my sister's birthday,  and  discouraging  her from
                            taking a job she was interested in. He refuses counseling and says
                            whatever problems there are are her fault.   I've  held  my  tongue
                            and tried to tolerate him because she has chosen to stay with him.


                            He recently participated in a marathon and was connected to us and
                            many others through social media so we could follow the two-day e-
                            vent from start to finish.  After a day of  constant  "dinging"  on  my
                            phone I found his need for attention over the top and stopped follow-
                            ing.  My  sister  was  upset.  She said she was embarrassed and hurt.
                            When she asked why I stopped, I told her.


                            Now our relationship is damaged.   I apologized and tried to smooth
                            things over,  but she's now fully aware of my true feelings about him
                            after seeing and hearing how he's treated her over the years.   Should
                            I have "kept the peace," as our dear departed mother always said, and
                            continued to keep my mouth shut, or should I have been honest about
                            my feelings?
                                                                                                                 Protective of Sis

Dear Sispro:
                           Whose relationship is damaged?  Yours and hers,  or yours  and  his?
                           The best policy is to be honest.   You're liable to reconcile in the next
                           life.  And,  as Renée would say,  have a great weekend.

The sports:

    The Cincinnati Reds lost a  no-hit  baseball game to the
Pirates in Pittsburgh,  1-0.   But it was the  Reds'
  pitchers,
Hunter Greene and Art Warren,  who  threw
  the  no-hitter.
The Reds made four hits in their loss.

    The Pirates became the sixth team since 1901  to win
a
Major League game without a hit.   And it was the
second
no-hitter this season thrown by more than one
pitcher. . . .

    A Brazilian soccer player was dropped  from  his  team
for continually farting in the locker room and laughing du-
ring the captain's speech.

Dear Eleanor:
                            I am the  step-grandmother  of a 7-year-old whom I
                            consider my granddaughter.  "Missy" does not have
                            a relationship with her father (my husband's son) al-
                            though we've been actively involved with her since
                            she was an infant.  Missy's mother has another child,
                            now 3, by another man.

                            We were told recently  that Missy cannot visit us on
                            weekends without her little brother.     Their mother
                            says he "cries all weekend when his sister's gone."

                            My husband and I feel that this woman is simply seek-
                            ing a weekend baby-sitter.    We have resorted to elab-
                            orate reasons we cannot have both kids, but I'm afraid
                            we're running out of excuses.    We have not seen Mis-
                            sy for weeks now,  but Grandpa still refuses to take in
                            Little Brother.  What should I do?

Dear Eleanor:
                            My wife and I married as teen-agers 40 years ago.  Our
                            children are adults,  and most people consider us a perf-
                            ect couple.

                            My wife has had several affairs over the years  –  some
                            she has admitted to,  and others I have stumbled across.
                            For the most part they have been physical only, with no
                            emotional attachment.

                            Twenty  years  ago  she had a passionate affair  with  a
                            younger man that ended  when  he  broke  it  off  to  be
                            with someone else.  A year ago she found out he is sin-
                            gle again,  and she invited him back into her life.    She
                            tells me they are "just friends"  and that she  "needs his
                            company because only he understands her."    I believe
                            that if he had a better income  she would leave me in a
                            minute.

                            I can't stand the thought of losing the love of my life, but
                            I also can't keep living with her knowing I  play  second
                            fiddle in her heart.  
She refuses counseling  because  she
                            does
not see this as a problem.  Should I give  her  more
                            time
 (a year already) or file for divorce?

                                                                                      Confused in Illinois
Dear Cornfucked:
                                    It seems to me that the time for divorce was about
                                    40 years ago.  And what, pray, is "physical only"?
                                    You need counseling.  She doesn't.

That devious little whippersnapper "Jake Boone" – a/k/a
Todd Johnson Logsdon!  Not even a pre-teen and already
misrepresenting who he really is.   What other scams and
deceptions is this little juvenile delinquent cooking up? –
and with the seemingly approving adults around him egg-
ing him on?

I think the Honorable Natty Esq. and Mayor Yates need to
file complaints with one of those Vincent law enforcement
types and with Child Protective Services.
  A call to the IRS
might be in order, too; who knows about all the money col-
lected from monetizing all those "Jake Boone" videos?

The Grammy witch churning out all those videos  might  be
snorting it all up her nose or gambling it away.
    I'd get a ri-
ghteous preacher on it too – as this "Charles Manson in wai-
ting"  will need some heavy duty praying done over him be-
fore Satan really gets his claws into him and he becomes the
"Evil One of Edmonson County" with stacks of dead bodies
piled up behind him.
We must not waste any time in nipping
this situation in the bud!  I'm so glad I alerted both of you.

Dear Eleanor:
                            I've been badly shamed my whole life. One
                            of my earliest memories was my grandfath-
                            er's telling me I looked like I was following
                            a cow that shit on a flat rock and it splatter-
                            ed all over me.  Freckles.

                            When  I  was in the fifth grade we moved to
                            Fort Worth, Texas; and there the first day of
                            school all the other kids gathered around my
                            desk and were calling me "Cowboy."  They-
                            're welcoming me to Texas,  I  thought,  and
                            like me;  I'm  popular!   Then I heard "Shit!"
                            "Flat rock!"  and "Splattered."   Yes.   Freck-
                            les.

                            What  can  society  do  to stop the marginal-
                            ization of the freckled?
                                                                                 Splattered
Dear Splatbat:
                              Get a tan.
