alphseeker Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 PHELPS WINS ANOTHER GOLD!!!! US won the 4x100 free relay, due largely to a wicked perfect turn by Phelps.At first I thought Phelps has been taking laps in the bay but then these were explained away:http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j199/bauhaus92/Screen-Shot-2016-08-07-at-9.32.37-PM_zpsszqxt5m9.pngCupping pressure points- 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod in Toronto Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Ugh, this climate change crap is so hypocritical... letting people rape your rain forests and you force feed this world this? Hypocrisy is normal for governments though...I know of a country that boasts about freedom while sending troops to bomb the Middle East... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost In Xanadu Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) What do you guys think, especially you Rod, about golf being added? I love golf, but think this was a stretch. Watching the course get built from nothing, in a place that doesn't really play golf, seems like a tremendous waste of resources to me. Does anyone think the course will be used after the games? Will that land even be a golf course in 2 years? Edited August 8, 2016 by Lost In Xanadu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 That golf couse will be useless once the olympics are over. It's a VERY exclusive sport around these parts, and those who play it have smaller courses closer to the upper class suburbs. They'll NEVER drive that far just to play golf.

Nature is already taking the course back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod in Toronto Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Got tickets for two female volleyball games: Italy vs Puerto Rico and USA vs China.indoor or beach? Indoor. The beach volleyball arena is across the road from where we live, so I thought about experiencing another venue. We´ve seen beach volleyball games in the same place, but with a smaller arena.
