We've determined that this is really the new municipal infrastructure. The same kind of debate was being done 150 years ago about whether cities should be building roads or sewer systems.

I put all the blame on myself. We can sit up here and say the stick was slippery or whatever, but the bottom line is that we practice on these sticks every day. I was trying to pull for it and it slipped out of my hand. It's my fault.

That deuce is what helps you in the 100. I truly believe that. With my weight, my strength and doing these deuces, the 100 is coming so easy to me now. Because I've got the start. I can get you out of the blocks. Now it's 'can you hold on?' I truly believe I can hold on, because I can do it in practice now.
