THE OLYMPICS

If you have been tied to your television set like I have been watching the Olympics I must say the China has outdone any other country as far as opening ceremonies are concerned. I thought they were magnificent. The amazing thing was the coordination of all those people beating the drums, running around to make a bird look like it was flying and the many other things that were part of the ceremony. I can't say that I like their politics but their program was one that will long be remembered. If Chicago is chosen to be the next host city I don't think they will come anywhere near what we saw in Beijing. I just wonder where the city of Chicago will put the buildings needed to put on the Olympics without destroying the beautiful lake front.
