We'll have 700 entries for the February race.

Tomorrow will be big water. We are closer to the lead after the first day than I was last year, so we are not unhappy to be where we are.

I don't think they thought that would ever happen.

The Pied Piper enjoyed people enjoying themselves. He was colorblind and race-blind and religion-blind.
