We Know That Guy!

On a whim I queued up a Jason Kelce Youtube video showing him learning what he needed to know about the four-man bobsled before making a run down the track, and look who I stumbled across:


That's former Dartmouth football captain Quinten Arello '23 explaining to Kelce how he hopped in a runaway bobsled while the former Philadelphia Eagles center looked on. Watch the full video, including Arello's climb into the sled, below. (Former Princeton running back Charlie Volker, an Olympic bobsled veteran, also appears in the video.)


Arello did not make the US team for the Olympics, but he did compete on the Cortina bobsled track earlier in the season. Find his season results HERE.

EXTRA POINT
One day last week I was on my way to our little post office when I was reminded one of the disadvantages of driving an EV: They are so quiet they can surprise animals along the road.

Half a "rafter" of wild turkeys was on the left side of the road when my quiet arrival spooked the others, who were about to cross from the right side. Just like that, they took flight over the road.

Here's the thing. While turkeys are surprisingly agile flyers over a short distance, they can weigh upwards of 20 pounds, so their battle against gravity can require a bit of a runway.  If I hadn't slowed as quickly as I did I might have ended up with a couple of drumsticks on my car windshield.
