Bejing or Bust

Don't know if you've seen them around town, but team USA is on the streets sweating for the gold in Bejing. It took me over a decade to make the easy jaunt across town, but if you haven't ever visited the Olympic Training Center now seems like it'd be a really good time to do so.

Here is a shot of a Bejing triathlon hopeful that was peddling, along with the team, down Colorado Ave. last Sunday.

I may sound idealistic here but so what... I absolutely love the Olympics and the lofty ideals they (are supposed to) stand for (damn greedy cheaters). Namely people coming together in celebration and in the spirit of friendly competition. I have ever since I was a little kid. It is a very worthy event in my opinion and I look forward to it every time they roll around.

I think the Olympics being based in Colorado Springs is one of the very great things in this otherwise so divided town. Glad they shut out the extremists and found a way to not only keep the national offices here, but to give Colorado Springs unprecedented use of the Olympic rings in their promotional efforts. No doubt "Home of the USOC" sounds a hell of a lot better than "Home of James Dobson and NORAD". This is something everyone can be proud of.
