| #5 Can't speak for the rest of you but I expect to spend a grand total of ZERO hours watching the Olympics. Or, in other words, about the same number of hours I spent watching the Moscow Olympics. No interest, particularly in watching a Chinese replay of the 1936 event. |

| #1 Saw a report from a local TV reporter who's there this AM. She says Olympic officials are calling the smog "mist". You could barely see the main stadium across the parking lot. Wouldn't wanna screw up their big party. |
