Was that photo taken in Monrovia?

They don't know Monrovia

Only the US won more gold medals than the UK at the Olympics. Not bad for a tiny little island somewhere in the North Atlantic. Where are all the post-Brexit doomsayers now?

My favorite UK moment from Rio:

It's just not the same without Vangelis iconic music Mike.

She kinda let some people down in Rio (if all you care about is winning a damn race)...

The 2012 London Olympics were easily the best ever Mike, no I'm not biased in any way!

The Queen, her corgis and even 007 made an appearance.

Saw Hell or High Water this weekend. Very good movie!

I had missed seeing In Order of Disappearance at the Hawaii International Film Festival last year, but it sounded so good that I ordered the UK DVD. (No English-friendly blu yet as far as I know. But the DVD looked terrific on my upconverting player.) Watched it this weekend, and it was terrific!! Stellan Skarsgard plays a father out for some revenge, and it's a black comedy of a crime drama set in snowy Norway. I think it's getting a theatrical U.S. release this month.

Was in a movie-viewing mood this 3-day weekend, so also watched Kelly + Victor, Pioneer and Bon Cop, Bad Cop.

My cats could beat up on those wimpy corgis.

Remember Farmer Maggot in LOTR? His proper English dogs were named Wolf, Fang, and Grip. That's more like it.

We had a time out from the Olympics on Saturday night in Canada. Gord Downie, the lead singer of The Tragically Hip was diagnosed with brain cancer earlier this year and they showed their final show live on the CBC. I'm sure most of you are unfamiliar with the band, but they are legend up here. An event so important to the country that the Prime Minister was there, the CBC cut from their Olympic coverage to show it live, they broadcast it with no interruptions, no commercial breaks, no banner advertising of any kind, and they told the band they could play for as long as they wanted. It was a great performance that was at time hard to watch. A man who knows he's going to die doing one last show. A third of Canada watched it.

I'll never forget it.

London is burning - 32°C

- 32°C

Sounds kinda cold to me...

 

[Steve Christou]

I forgot about you guys and Mr. Fahrenheit - okay how about 90°F ? Better?

 

[Mike Frezon]

Hey! Rufus T. Farenheit is my hero! (I think it was the hyphen that threw me off!)

 

[Steve Christou]

Ah I see it looked like minus 32° Hey I remembered how to add the little circle thing after the number! I'm a genius! No I didn't. I had to google it. I can never remember the effin' number. ALT + 248 °

 

[Mike Frezon]

Maybe ALT + 248 would work on that old picture of Cees'??

 

[Steve Christou]

Oh come on Mike, Cees isn't that old.


Oh you mean the three girls in that picture, damn I'm always misreading people.

Can you identify the two people in this photo?
