keerectamundo !!!!!!!!!!!!! Old eastern philosophy cites that sometimes the BEST decision is NOT to decide and to do BOTH proper justice. :wink:

I have to tear myself out of my normal Eastern Philosophy to engage with the AZ'ers and the whole this or that thing..

Sorry i messed up my whole line of smiles ------------- yup musta been karma

My concept of endless source of good days pisses some off...
I don't believe that anything is finite when it comes to good times... If I miss a POW day - I don't get pissed.. Cause there's going to be another one..

The number of good times is not finite..

I mostly feel the same way.

Only time I get pissed for missing a POW day or a good show is if it was perfectly within my control to go and laziness held me back.

I must say that I've soured on Lindsey during the Olympics.She has come off to me as a whiney princess.I can't put a finger on it but every time I hear her interviewed I like her less.Sure looked like some tension yesterday between the two.

Can't let this one die - Julia was robbed yesterday, right? That race should not have even started. They both were robbed. Stupid Olympic officials....

And the media drama between them - manufactured by NBC to keep ratings up...

Lindsey has not posted since her broken-pinkie crash

http://www.facebook.com/LindseyVonnUSA

Yup, Julia got a situational screw job there yesterday, but sometimes, that's just the reality of ski racing. So many factors aligned just right(or wrong) to make it happen. A bib draw right behind Lindsey, Lindsey's crash real close to the bottom of the course, a bazzillion entrants in the race, thus necessitating the 1 minute intervals, etc, etc, etc

In the big scheme of things, the way Julia's run looked to be going (whenever we could see her through the fog), I'm guessing that the rerun between added fatigue, deteriorated course conditions, and just the mental stress of having to get psyched back up and apparently just getting back up to the start house, probably cost her a good .5-.75 seconds.

The "good" thing is that based on the forcast temps for today, course deterioration will likely be a bit of an issue again, and Julia will have a much better course than the leaders.

Trying to get my wife to do some reading on Eastern Philosophy. It hasn't radically changed my life but I view the world in a different light than she does.

Julia Mancuso's website, juliamancuso.com, crashed 2 days ago from too many people trying to log on. They say it will be back working in a day or two. Lindsey Vonn is now seen by many as a "whiner", not a good reputation to get.

Look shit happens in real life . All this pseudo- drama is lame. In the larger order none of this means squat . They are both great ski racer s and all this buzz is strictly to hype NBC's less than sterling coverage and market share .

After recovering from a powder coma, I viewed the press reportage of yesterday's race. I wish they would just leave them alone. Just another form of paparazzi looking for material to attract viewers. They totally lost sight of the race. I'm sure today's coverage will be just as precious.

I recommend they turn over coverage of the alpine events to AZ. I think each of us would pitch in $10 no? And we'd sell the primetime spots to Golden Lion in return for Sugarbush tickets. Deal?
