Let's see if I can recall the story............I won't bother to verify, because, well....it's about Charlie Thompson and we know how his employer is all about scurrilous stories, loose details and to hell with the facts.
As you all know, Thompson is covering Fina's Discipinary Board meeting in Philadelphia today. It started at 10 AM at the D1 Offices at 1601 Market St.
So Charlie drives a Volvo with over 200,000 miles on it and is happily taking said Volvo down the Turnpike to the Valley Forge interchange, to hop on the Expressway to Philly.
"Slapping Sounds"
That is all.
Have a great Father's Day Weekend y'all.
