(I still think the Tornado team that finds an 80 or 100 lb crew will win)

After watching Lionel Messi play, I realize I need to sail harder.

Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won't expect it back.

Posts: 342 Indianapolis, IN - Midwest USA... | The Scuttlebut write-up says this is "blue-green" algae, which is the same stuff that was in the lake where I sail last year; and all the local health departments said it was too dangerous for swimming or boating. It wasn't nearly as dense here as those photos show, yet they were cautioning against any contact with the water. It scared a lot people off the lake all summer. I still sailed in it, but I always showered immediately afterwards.

I've heard that several of our Olympic Equestrian team members will -not- bring their expensive horses to the games, so they are in effect boycotting the competition, this is in regards to the heat and smog which they feel could do permanant harm to their horses.
