"The cost of a thing is the amount of what I call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run." - Henry David Thoreau As an aside, for anyone that is familiar with the ultrarunning scene, and, in this case, the ultrarunning underworld, the Barkley finished up last night with finisher number 8, Andrew Thompson, finishing in 57 hours and change. Oh, and when I say finisher number 8, I don't mean the 8th finisher of the race this year, I mean the 8th finisher ever (the race has been run every year since 1986, with no finishers for the first 9 years). Quite an accomplishment.
