Saw a very disturbing story about the Rio Olympics today. Evidently the compound where the athletes live is not secure, and there have already been several thefts. The water where the sailing competitions are to be held is so polluted with raw sewage that the competitors have to wear special suits to protect themselves. Even the water in the indoor pools is said to be polluted. Plus, there are worries about the Zika virus and terrorism. Do you think the Olympics will come off with no major incidents?

I thought it was a terrific closing ceremony, entertaining and meaningful. I especially liked the costumed people at the beginning forming various Rio landmarks and ending with the Olympic rings. Reply #21. Aug 22 16, 1:01 PM |

Interesting link, Mixamatosis. As usual though, I got hopelessly side tracked :) Reply #24. Sep 22 16, 8:02 PM |
