In the Middle of the Racetrack

Was just sitting here reading some news; the tv on behind me and the cat curled up on my his recliner. A NASCAR commercial came on and the sounds of the race cars graduately kept getting louder, as if they were zooming right by my window.

I turned around and saw the Beej stretching, woken up by the super-loud noise, one of his back paws pushing the volume control on the remote.
