Sucking down a cup of Joe, yours truly speaks for 30 minutes (well, sometimes I go longer), on topics that get me interested.

Our topics today:

1. The Memorial Kamila Skolimoswka had 23,000 fans on Sunday, July 16.

2. The race of the meet was Sha’Carri Richardson dueling with Shericka Jackson. Sha’Carri needed 80 meters to get even and the last fifteen meters had her speeding away, taking the definitive win.
