    Wow, that's a shocker! Maybe Neff giving up the driving and back to wrenchin' had something to do with it??? Heck, who knows? I can imagine where putting up with Force all these years would wear a guy down!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Having an interest in personalities/behavior, and what drives people I'v e often wondered about the atmosphere around that camp. Between Force himself, and the number of high level crew chiefs there's got to be a whole lot of ego goin' on dare! Could be that Medlen didn't feel "fulfilled" enough. Could be he's just now coming out of the worst of the feelings of loss for his son and "needs" a change in locale to continue down the path of healing to whatever degree he's capable of. I doubt we'll ever know the real reasons, only Medlen could say, if he even recognizes it.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    No kidding. I'm surprised Austin Coil hasn't been locked up in a padded room by now.

    I think they are like yin & yang. Force is amped all of the time, and Coil seems like he is totally relaxed all the time, and never lets anything get to him.

    ....and yes, I understand why most would be in that padded room. I go for a soda, or channel surf, during those long rambling outbursts.
