argyler: I saw a gopher on my run today. It made running up three sets of hills (route 1, hospital, and cowan) bearable.

wantsthis: We are back up and running!

lifetimecomp: @snarkandboobs As children we played 'cops and robbers' assuming the robbers were the ones bucking the government, not the ones running it.

jaunderwood20: windows 7 is up and running....love it so far
