Thanks for posting those betting odds, Dakardii. Seriously, it's good to know what we're up against. At this pathetic point though, I hope Secretariat runs and wins by a mile.

Otherwise...for the first time in my life, I saw a B-1B Lancer Bomber fly somewhat low-level over the house this afternoon while cutting the lawn. Couldn't get over how quite it was as it sailed away into the wild blue yonder. At least I wasn't on the bombs-away side. Then, I probably wouldn't have seen him.
