Mother Nature is, that is. Doesn't she get it that the Olympics are only 10 days away? Doesn't she know her geography? Vancouver is on the other coast. Where she's seen fit to give them temperatures above zero degrees Celsius. Where they are trucking snow to the Olympic venues, for crying out loud! That just seems wrong to me on so many levels. The earth is screaming with discomfort over global warming and here she has the power to do something about it, but does she? Oh no, can't do that. Must put those Nova Scotian into a deep freeze, show them who's boss, shove them around a little with some gentle winds so they really feel that cold crisp air, teach them about discomfort. What's a little wind chill? It'll toughen 'em up some.
Bitch.

I am a fan of permanent venues for Olympics. Perhaps the Yukon Territories for winter and somewhere in western in Brazil for summer.
pick location, build once, and have a location without pollution....
Actually, I really like that idea Holly. But denying so many countries the opportunity to go into massive debt in hopes of making a bit of money from promoting their country? Don't see it happening. Lately it seems that the Olympics is more about the host country and the show they will put on rather than the actual athletes. Too bad.
I agree Barabara. It's become more of a tourism ad.
