Dara just one the national title in the 100M Freestyle in 54.4 at the ripe old age of 40. Simply Incredible. :applaud: :woot: If that's not inspiring I don't know what is.

  • I'm too busy drinking beer and belching. Elise: Mayberry is alive and well in the Washington DC suburbs, though perhaps not as prevalent in the 1950s. I'm hard pressed to believe there weren't just as many problems then, although perhaps different in nature. You've got to drive pretty far out to get to Mayberry. In Mayberry you don't have to worry about rush hour traffic. Also, you know all the judges well enough so that they always take your side when the big city lawyers come into town. Also, people are more worried about who is going to win the Little League game than what Dara is doing. The best thing is that since we all know each other, a terrorist would stand out like a sore thumb. I suppose a local could get paid off here to carry out a bomb threat, but there is no glory for the terrorists in letting off a bomb in Mayberry. And finally, to top it all off, when you are unconventional and are the only woman crazy enough to ride a bicycle with your bathing suit on, you become somewhat of a celebrity.
