I and my ancestors came from the southern highlands, like snow but not sports.
I see a young lady won gold?
Goodonya girl.
Not sure what sport and do not care much.
Might get a look at snow on the Gloster tops one day but not rushing.

Dear Belly,

Totally agree.
Snow sports - boring!

If I want to see beautiful Canada - I'll watch Getaway.
Like the other night when they featured - Banff National
Park. The spectacular scenery - the lakes, glaciers,
icecapped Rocky mountains - the province of Alberta.
All brought back so many happy memories. I still
have several eskimo sculptures bought there.

And the hot mineral springs - were so relaxing!

I much prefer watching Getaway - to the winter games -
or our news ... Just think - with the Election nearing -
TV viewing is only going to get worse - and nasty!
The Libs answer for anything is Attack. Every time one
of them opens their mouth - I can't help but think -
"They're depriving some poor village of its IDIOT!"

Yes foxy it must be very beautiful, but I too find the sport boring.
Given the very hard sell of pay per view I just have to ask.
Do they think every thing is salable, well maybe it is on Pay TV.
We do pay for things I would never watch in my youth, yes that old.
Finishes soon doesn't it? please.

Am I watching the Winter Games?

Yes, but only barely noticing rather than avidly watching.

Saw the men's figure skating last night - it was magnificent, elegant you name it. Loved the fast spins from a crouched position where the skater changed shape with his arms. It looked just like a bit of clay on a pottery wheel take shape and coming to life.

But the cross-country skiing, luge and skeleton for me are about on a par with watching equestrian sports. Totally predictable and boring.

Whatever its faults, the sports in the winter games look alot more interesting than many in the summer games. Nothing that I have watched is half as boring as synchronised diving, equestrian events, pistol shooting or race walking.

Like the summer Olympics,a total waste of the taxpayers' money.
