You can leave a horse to water...

How must it feel to be able to say "I'm the fastest swimmer EVER!"? History of man vs. Me, I win. Michael Phelps is a stud. He shattered a world record this morning, live on Tuscaloosa channel 13, at about 3am CST, men's 400m indy. He literally left the rest of the field in his wake, apparently in a completely separate race all his own. I found it pretty damn remarkable to witness, truly a defining moment in yet another fanstatic festival de sportes, the 2008 Beijing Olympics. For a moment I forgot I was camped out deep within penthouse #233 @ the oh-so luxurious La Quinta Inn, L.A. That's Lower Alabama, China... ... ...China!
