Life is paradoxical; full of contradiction. The 2010 Olympics in Vancouver are no different.
McDonald’s and Coke are official sponsors; athletes are beacons of health and fitness. Many oppose the games; scores embrace them. Locals and visitors party in the streets; a competitor dies on the luge track in Whistler.
On opening day I see another paradox — an Olympic (dis)comfort, so to speak.
It appears in just a moment. The direct link → here.

I just voted in your Poll Daddy. How exciting. I am with 25 % of the other people, in having no opinion. Why did I find it necessary to communicate that I have no opinion? Kind of an interesting paradox…?
Anyway, I’m here in your comment box really because I liked your post on Just a Moment. Great pics. Hope you are surviving the experience. All I’ve heard about it really, over here, apart from seeing some of the opening ceremony, is that Joe Biden’s motorcade crashed…..
Thanks Rose :)
Biden’s motorcade crashed? Not sure how I missed that. Just checked. Here it is:
And apparently, weather records for Vancouver have been/are being broken. The last time it’s been this warm — day after day — at this time of year was 100 years ago. Uncanny, the timing, with the Winter Olympics on, the need for cold temperatures and snow, and joggers on the beach wearing t-shirts and shorts ~
K.
So he wasn’t even in the crash then? I only heard about this on CNN because apparently his motorcade has been in a bunch of crashes lately and people are like, huh? Anyway. That has nothing to do with the Olympics. I watched the men’s figure skating. That was fun. Look forward to your interview with Dorothee. :)
Multiple motorcade crashes? Very strange. The interview is currently underway :-)
