| 2024 Summer Olympics (Paris) | |

| Given the amount of commenting on the opening ceremony that we | |
| did on the ToD today I think it is safe to assume that we are | |
| still going to want to talk about events as they happen and | |
| such, so... have at it. :) | |

| Team USA wins its first medal of the Paris Summer Olympics | |
| "Divers Sarah Bacon and Kassidy Cook have won | |
| the United States� first medal of the Paris Olympics. | |
| Bacon and Cook took home the silver in the 3-meter | |
| synchronized springboard competition, | |
| held at the Aquatics Center in Saint-Denis, north of Paris. | |
| This is the first time the U.S. has medaled in the event | |
| since 2012." | |
| The photo of them says it all. | |

| i'm waiting for some contractors to come trim a tree for me so i | |
| have the Olympics on tv (NBC). | |
| it's a long distance cycle racing time trial so not too exciting | |
| at the moment. but even though it's raining (again), i just | |
| love the sights of stunning Paris streets and architecture in | |
| the background. | |
| *Brava, Paris ~ ! | |
| *i looked up to see whether Paris is considered feminine or | |
| masculine, and apparently both are used depending whether it's a | |
| spoken or literary reference. deGaulle said it was masculine, | |
| but i'm considering it feminine : ) | |

| How can you not love Katie Ledecky? | |
| She swims because she loves it. I�m sure she is competitive but | |
| mostly she great because she�s doing what she does best. | |

| I know theyre all insanely strong and fantastic athletes but | |
| whenever I watch men's waterpolo, from a purely sartorial | |
| perspective I cant help but be mezmerized by their head bonnets | |
| :D | |

| Algorithm gotcha! | |
| Among a variety of other competitions, I watched some of the | |
| swimming this morning. | |
| I'm now getting ads for pool cleaning supplies. | |
| I do not now and have never owned a swimming pool nor shopped | |
| for chlorine. | |
| I watched gymnastics... are ads for leotards next? | |
| The surfing competition from Tahiti... ads for cruises on my | |
| horizon? | |
| Equestrian events... they gonna try to sell me a saddle? | |
| what a trip! | |
| 😄 | |

| I�ve played a bit of water polo. Keeping my head above water | |
| exhausted me much less try to catch and pass a ball. | |
| I also used to ski with a guy who�d played in college. He said | |
| they all wore more than one suit since since they often got | |
| pieces torn off. | |
