I went to Red Arrow in Woodruff. At least you didn't go to Camp Highlands.

Perhaps the distinction is between laziness and badness...?

You've convinced me that all of the Astros had the BEST of intentions... but trying to do the right thing, thinking they are doing the right thing and actually DOING the right thing are not the same. The tried so hard to do the right thing and it was an utter disaster — I believe their beat writer for the Chronicle…

You cannot compete in a track…
