Here are the Olympians: runners, archers, fencers, swimmers, shooters, gymnasts, footballers, volleyballers, weightlifters, cyclists, to name a few. The grand opening last Friday highlighted the English contributions to the advancement of mankind through the efforts of the "English" led industrial revolution. So this uniquely British effort, including an appearance of Queen, opened the 2012 Games. So far, so good. Only a couple of athletes have been sent home for some communication gaffs and maybe one doping incident.
Lots of thrills and chills to come. All events are on the net, as they should be. Twitter has become the media of choice, among others, for better or worse.
Watch your fave and enjoy this once-in-four- years extravaganza.
Lake Tahoe, California's Alpine playground, is anchored on the west shore by Homewood/Tahoma, straddling two counties:Placer and El Dorado. The mayor of Tahoma posts information related to the area and items of interest to residents and visitors alike. Its goal is to be informative, humorous, and timely. Hope you enjoy the site.
