Olympics

I watched quite a bit. My favorite events were curling, and the cross country, especially the biathlon. The 50 K race is incredible. It's the purest kind of athleticism. I loved in the biathlon the guys that couldn't shoot straight had to take the dummy lap. The opening, and closing ceremonies were cringe worthy in their hokiness. I thought the admonishment of the Canadian women for celebrating with cigars after the stadium was empty was stupid. It was their moment, but some needle nose awful person had to gripe. The Olympic authorities should have told the complaintant to get lost. My lasting impression of Canadians is, they are a lot like Mormons without the plural marriage edginess.
