I have posted a video of the race above, so watch it if you are interested. It isn't the best 1500m race I have ever seen, as the over-anxious rabbit ran the first lap in 52 seconds - a lot faster than he was requested. Things seemed to calm down after the first lap, and then there was some pushing and shoving and one racer fell. Even though Matthew finished in 10th place - he ran the fastest 1500m of his life!
But that is nothing compared to what happened AFTER the race. Two Frenchmen had words with each other, and then... well, if you didn't watch the end of the video above, have a look at this:
Never seen that before!
The 10,000m was a virtual blood-bath. Two racers being pushed-off the track! Am I going to have to become a WWF fan now?
Enough brutality. Dave drove my sister, Carla (and me) to the Charleston harbor to check-out the restaurant we have chosen for a family luncheon tomorrow. It was one of my Mom's favorite restaurants years ago, but no one had been there for a while. We went for lunch and it was just fine.






After our wildlife adventure, we drove Carla to the Coos Bay Visitors Bureau to see the Steve Prefontaine Memorial. I guess this was a pretty dang snazzy statue in 1975, but it seems a bit hokey now. Pre was a native of little Coos Bay, Oregon.



Most of the family is in Coos Bay now - including our darling great-nephew, Gabe! It's going to be fun spoiling him.
Until my next update, I remain, your fishy correspondent.
