Just over 24 hours 'til track racing!!! I can't wait!!!
Suppose I should get around to watching mens road tonight. That ladies road race was awesome. I kinda like the small team approach. Maybe UCI teams should be 5-man or so.

Throw the stick!!!!
Thread Starter
I was just a good Samaritan. Walking around the capital on my break I saw a guy laying beside the sidewalk. It took a couple of times asking if he was alright before he told me "no" and asked me to get him a ride to the hospital. I ended up calling 911, they asked me some questions and asked me to stay with him until help arrived. A few minutes later security showed up and took over and called for a medic.
What upsets me is the guy told me that I was the first one that cared enough to stop. Everyone else just kept walking. God forbid people take a moment out of their day to check on a fellow human.

Good job lc. I try to help strangers in need myself whenever I can. It's amazing how some can care less, and cannot be bothered with helping a fellow human in need.

I just heard that story on the radio. Seems like sandbagging would be part of the game in tourney format stuff like badminton.

Derp, make that two today. I thought they'd gotten two golds in rowing, but nope, just one gold in rowing.

I stopped to help a passed out guy that looked like a druggie on the bridge a couple of years ago. I only avoid druggie possums if they hiss at me.
