Our Minister in Rio was present for one of the most unusual events at the Games. he was at the wrestling finals when a Mongolian contestant was assigned deductions for fouls, thus losing the match. This did not sit well with the 2 Mongolian coaches present. They immediately stood up inside the match circle and began stripping off their clothes in symbolic protest of the referee's decision. It was a very emotional display, by any measure. This protest did not affect the decision or the outcome. It made for good YOUTUBE video. Check it out: MOngolian Strippers.
More to follow from our Minister who has returned to work after exhausting himself in Rio. Get your rest. We'll talk later.
I hope you kept the tickets for a souvenir.
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.
