February fretting...



Killer whales: well lets see, 6 - 9 meters, 3 - 9 tons with a life span of up to 50 years. Highly social and intelligent. Take one from an ocean, stick it in a tank, make it do tricks and surprise... http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/02/25/florida.seaworld.death/index.html?hpt=T2

Trucking along:
This morning I'm behind a transport truck, Deluxe Freight out of Burlington Ontario and this guy couldn't stay in one lane if his life depended on it. (The irony of our lives depending on it is not wasted on me!) He was everywhere, all over the road! I stayed well back, until it was safe to pass him. (About 10 blocks!) When I was beside him I realize the problem. Apparently it's not that easy to dig through your lunch pail, find and peel a banana whilst driving a transport! Ha... go figure!


Olympic women's hockey:
Simple, give Canada automatic gold, USA automatic silver and let the rest of the world play for bronze. It's embarrassing! It's not sportsman like and certainly not the spirit of the games.

Olympic men's hockey:
Could someone explain to me how professional, paid NHL stars qualify in "amateur games?" It's really just all star hockey split into countries.



Olympic Medals:
Yay Canada. Up to 7 gold with a total of 15. Double Yay for the females who've done most of the work!
