An Excerpt from "Oregon Days Are Here" post (created to be used as a link)

We drove through Eugene, where the track & field Olympic trials are going on. The air was really smokey because of the fires in Northern California. I wonder if it effected the athletes. For sure it didn't hurt Tyson Gay, who broke the 100 meter world record with a time of 9.68 seconds. Oh wait, he can't claim it because he had a tail wind of 4.1 meters per second and anything over 2.2 just isn't allowed (like, how do they determine this? Why was the line drawn at 2.2? I'd like the guy's job that figures out that calculation).
