Weekend Wild Card — June 25-26

You'll have to contend with Iron-type people, if you go downtown this weekend. They'll be practicing and strutting their muscular bodies on Saturday. And performing on Sunday. I'm curious what the announcer on Sunday will say when the individual participants in Ironman CDA 70.3 cross the finish line. In the regular super triathlon, the announcer says, "You are an Ironman." So, for Sunday's event, will the announcer be yelling out, "You are half an Ironman"? It doesn't have the same ring. The weather is going to break Saturday. I hope you enjoy yourself and return to Huckleberries Online Monday eager for another week of news, opinion, comment and hijinks. Here's your Weekend Wild Card ...
