Demolition Derby
Who Could
Ever Imagine This Topic?
Since our area is fairly built out, new construction on a wide scale level is rarer than in some places but it still exists.
You can see signs announcing an upcoming hearing for demolition of a building or an adaptation of a building that will provide a new life. New construction of in-fill projects along with many remodeling/renovation jobs are ongoing.
Grand Opening announcements. Businesses closed often without much notice are evident as well. Just gone. Seemingly without a trace. Of course, there is a back story. There always is, right?
Forecasts not met. Missed expectations. Reasons far and wide. I make it no secret that I like quotes. They often capture a spirit or the essence of a topic in my mind. Believe it or not, I even found one, just one, on the subject mentioned in today's post title. Demolition Derby.
I read it and I laughed a bit to myself. I remember Keith Jackson from when I was a child and ABC television broadcast each Saturday, The Wide World of Sports each Saturday. While my knowledge of sports remains rather limited, I appreciated Mr Jackson's play-by-play ability as he effectively communicated and introduced me to a variety of sports I might otherwise never experience.
I've announced every kind of sporting event
except hockey and demolition derby,
and to be frank about it,
I don't really care to do those.

Demolition Derby and Real Life. Yeah, there is a correlation and it's really not that much of a stretch of imagination. At least, I don't think so.
