Yes those are the air raid sirens going off. Actually, those big sirens are what wake up all the folks in Chatham county when there is a nuclear melt down at Sharon Harris. And they are going off because there are only 245 spots left for the Duke Half Triathlon 2008.

Several of us are running in support of women’s breasts this weekend.
