Here's my view of the Olympic Torch as it came through my machine today. Very cool. Keith and Collin saw the torch carried along Marine Drive this morning and got some great pictures. That's Flat Jennifer (Flat Stanley's sister) in the foreground. She's visiting and we've promised to show her a good time.
At work I saw many many athletes. I always say "Go USA" when they come through and they usually stop to chat for a minute. A few bobsledders today. They'll be headed up to the Whistler Athlete's Village soon, but are staying with us for a few days. Apollo Ohno actually came through my portal today. Yes, still cute.
It was raining on and off today. And I hear they're getting a little more snow in the mountains. Yeah, we don't want Vancouver to be embarrassed. On my way home there was something else going on where the Opening Ceremony will be. The crowds were packed again and the SkyTrain was standing room only. I also noticed that the doors to the ramp for the SeaBus had a sign on them that said that they will be locked until 4 minutes before departure. It's going to get ugly when we all try to get where we're going at once.
I'm trying to stay awake a little longer tonight in preparation for my next three nights of midnight to 8am. I haven't made up my mind about that shift yet. While it's quiet and drama-free, time seems to stand still at times. I think of all the shifts, I prefer 4pm to midnight. I have a few of those next week.
What's scary to me is that I recognize some people's bags now as they come through the machine. I don't know if that's good or bad.
More soon.
