All news is Olympic news tonight so I need to pick and choose and it is mostly all negative. Lete's start with closures; one of the main roads around the downtown centre was closed today, the restrictions for air travel came into effect so no small planes need apply, waterfronts are all under restrictions and if you don't know Vancouver we are surrounded by water . This is just the beginning of it. Athletes are abandoning the 1 billion dollar Olympic Village , say it is too noisy and too far from practice venues. Bus services are in contention because we are bringing in shuttle buses from California, Alabama and Florida that will be driven by American drivers. Things are not going smoothly right now. SIGH.
One bright spot is that Clara Hughes a 5 time Canadian medal winner in both summer and winter games has been chosen to carry the flag in to the Opening ceremonies in B.C. Place. I am happy !!
The world is evolving as it should!!!
Weather is very mild 10"C today.
