disneydream06I heard a report last night that the average snow fall in Beijing China is less then 10 inches/25.4 cm.
Most of the snow we are seeing for the Olympics is man made.
Kind of makes you wonder, or at least makes me wonder, how/why the International Olympic Committee choose Beijing to be the host of the Winter Olympics.
I.O.C. you have some splainin to do.
A couple of highlights from the opening ceremonies...
-- Loved the goose stepping military guys raising the flags.
-- The Olympic flame, imho, is kind of lame. It's a massive snowflake made up of the names of the different countries, and the flame itself is just a hand held torch mounted in the center.

I thought the whole thing was lame and politicized. But I just watched snippets on the news.
Sigh.

And the IOC's reputation sucks. :o
IMHO...
