This Still Isn't the July 4th Post I Promised

And it looks like Benjamin Franklin is not happy with me.  I promise I'll get to it soon though.

In the mean time I'll just post a few random things of interest:

• The flying car they promised us old-timers in the early Sixties is just about ready to take off!  Insurers are really happy with it...
• An Ultra-marathon in Montana was canceled this week because snow made the course un-runnable.
• Running a Marathon in Iran might not be a real good idea.
• It turns out that IBM's "Watson" isn't very smart after all.  Who would opt for a career in medicine after cashing in at Jeapardy?
• It turns out that soccer is good for something after all!  PSU star Stephanie Pezzullo continues her running career following her successful 4-year PSU soccer tenure.
