In the US, there are two kinds of federal disability insurance. SSDI is for people who are found disabled and have worked enough to pay into Social Security tax. SSI is for people who are found disabled but haven't earned enough credits through working to qualify for SSDI. Neither provide much. I imagine the OP makes considerably more from working than he ever could through a disability payment, and his quality of life is probably better because he can still work and earn pay.

I love the Bush nicknames for his staff, hilarious legacy.

I grew up in a stock car family - almost everybody raced. My mom's got a photo album of my uncle's races, he was pretty good. Which do you prefer, paved or dirt? The local track where I grew up used to be dirt, and when they paved it, it was a big controversy.

Bit of a tangent, but my uncle had t shirts for the family racing team. I wore it to school when I was in 9th grade and was told I couldn't wear it anymore because it said "Doing it in the dirt." It was about racing, I swear!
