On a night out in Salisbury, we saw this sign on the Starbucks near where we ate. I thought it was hilarious that the only letters not lit up were in the word “bucks.” Of course, we still got some drinks there and trust me, the bucks are still there. It’ll take more than some burned out bulbs to get the bucks out of the chain.

I only wish I could have seen it, but I heard about it and then I watched the video below and could not believe what I saw. The drama behind it made it that much better: Michael Phelps needs to win to have any chance at 8 golds; the world record holder from France talked smack about how they would smash the Americans and then had a body length lead when he swam the anchor leg; even the commentators were giving the Americans the silver during the last 50 meters of the race. And then…out of nowhere…Jason Lezak refused to quit.
