I highly recommend the documentary 'Icarus' available on Netflix:

The saddest thing is the bad Russians interfering with the lives of the good Russians. There is nothing much more to add; it is a problem that only the Russian leaders can solve for their own country, and for the rest of the world.

Look @ this picture below again; it says it all.

She was the first gold medallist for Russia in the 2018 Winter Olympic Games.
No Russian flag, no Russian anthem. ...An innocent young gold athlete without a country. It rips my heart apart. I have tears of deep sadness dripping from my eyes.

Other than that and few minor hiccups these games are considered a success.
Norway did admirably, Germany has some great athletes, and all the other countries gave us some emotional moments...inoubliable.

Men and women from the world aspire to peace for all children, that, is what it's all about.

I watched the opening ceremony, a few minutes of half-pipe leading up to some downhill (which is what I wanted to see a little of), then a skater or two, and that was it. Oh, and some of the clips here...

Watched some movies I hadn't seen, instead.

Last night, "I Want to Live!"

Millions and millions watched the games.

I can't account for their actions, and only feel responsible (for the most part) for mine.

We are going to run out of water, it's all melting real fast.
And water is needed to extinguish forest fires, not just for drinking and swimming in our swimming pools. Our lawns too, they look much better green than brown.

And food, we need to grow potatoes on Mars, and find other vegetables and fruits in space. Our oceans have less whales, and man can't go deep enough.

Instead of sending a Roadster into space, man should explore the deep oceans for food, so that humanity can survive for few more years before the deluge from hurricanes and volcanoes and earthquakes. ...Before Earth explodes in a radioactive ball of fire. ...Before the nuclear holocaust from man's own destruction.

Me, I'd rather watch the games on TV, and the movies on Netflix, and the documentaries on my laptop.

Ray, did you see Black Panther yet @ a theater near you?

I haven't been to a theater since maybe 1998.

The trailer looks pretty violent. are you sure that's good for you?

Maybe I'll record it someday off TV, see if its any good.

Yes I saw that. It has been tough for the clean athletes who are honest.
They shouldn't be suffering forever because of their corrupted government officials under this entire cheating affair.

I'll be ready for the next 2020 Olympic Summer Games.

Overall those past 2018 Winter games were entertaining, very.
It's a positive thing for the world, for the young athletes, for everyone.
