My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts
Weatherwise:
a strange day. About 9am some clouds, sun shining, and snowing. Now, a few
hours later…blue sky and no clouds. This storm has had very wet [heavy] snow. Weather
guy says more snow later today…I’ll see.
Ukraine sent
athletes to the Paralympics in Beijing this year. As of today, Ukraine is in
second place with 7 medals. China leads with 16 and the US is in 7th
place with 3. I have watched some of the competitions. The athletes are
amazing. It is well-worth a watch.
