Are you all watching? Our girls are doing pretty well.
BTW did "Rocky and Bullwinkle" really get the silver in the woman's
giant slaloms?
I heard them say it but they never put up the graphic with her name.


Not watching.

It is really the only interesting thing on TV.
I am done with murder, mayhem and the Trump witch hunt.


I won't dispute your point there is little interesting on TV. If I can't
find anything on the science, nature, history, channels, et cetera, I
just open the book I am reading to my bookmark.

OH!, You missed a fascinating and awe filled evening of Curling!

That is why I record this stuff. I can fast forward over things I
don't care about. Curling is interesting for a little while but I am
not going to spend the evening watching it. The biathalon is
interesting too. Those boys and girls can shoot, all the while cross
country skiing. There is no shooting between heartbeats when your
heart rate is 150-160. I didn't mind seeing that arrogant French guy
drop his last 2 shots and lose.
I also like watching the snowboard and some of the alpine stuff. The
skeleton is just nuts.. They are belly whopping head first on tiny
little sleds hitting 80MPH or more.


Agreed on the Frenchman. My Dutch friend thought it was funny and appropriate that this 'hero'
missed so many shots!


Like the famed WW1 french rifle joke. they were all in perfect order. never fired and only dropped once...


After WWII, that is "twice".
