I Think I have Wii Back

My lower back stiffened up yesterday and is still twinging me a little. So I was sitting in my pen at work wondering where THAT problem came from and then I remember - 6 rounds of Wii tennis the night before. Had to be it.   So now I'm looking into Winter Olympic and thinking I should get a Wii snowboard but I'd probably fall off of it and break an ankle of something.  That might actually be worse then explaining how I sprained my ankle riding a shopping cart.

I'll try not to give away any big spoilers for Survivor but the big news is actually what happens NEXT week. Looks like Boston Rob is down for the count. When you have medic's opening his eyes saying "Rob can you hear me" it's never a good sign! BUT - for some reason I don't think he will leave the game.

I read that Rupert squealed like a pig as they were trying to reset his broken in three places toe!! Also - that opening was pretty amazing as it looked like a military exercise, then I find out it WAS a military exercise.

Seems in order to use the Royal New Zealand Air Force Huey's CBS had to cut a deal saying that the RNZAF could use their island for mission maneuvers IF they could be filmed on the last practice with the Survivors.

I tell ya - I was watching this and it was pretty darn cool.  Also the RNZAF went up against the Survivor Dream Team in one challenge for practice.  The Survivor Dream Team is a group of people that do all of the challenges to see if there are any problems.  The do survivor but without the cameras.  Awesome summer job!

I'm ready to sit down at watch all 835 hours of Olympic coverage!! The big news seems to be the weather with temps in the 50s for the next 10 days but I looked and Vancouver's average high is 46 so while it's warm it's not THAT warm.

Perhaps they should have the winter Olympics somewhere with a winter?  Just thinking out loud. 

NBC (owned by General Electric) has already said they will lose $250 million televising the games and they are worried about the weather but say they have plenty of indoor events in case of heavy rain (rain is forecast throughout the weekend).

RIP Charlie Wilson! One of my hero's is Charlie Wilson. Many people who do not know the whole Charlie Wilson story blame him as the guy that created Osama Bin Ladan but in reality he was the guy that WARNED the powers at the time (Reagan) that if they did not do something to rebuild Afghanistan they would create thousands of Osama's(which is what happened).

For those who do not know him he was a little known congressman who waged the biggest, meanest and most successful war in U.S. history. Many people do not even KNOW America was in a real war with the Soviet Union army. The largest Army in the world.

When the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan the mujahideen had like rocks and branches to throw at the Soviet 40th Army. They were slaughtering the Afgans and Jimmy Carter who many people think was a dove said "We now have the opportunity of giving to the Soviet Union its own Vietnam War."    It's often called the Soviet–Afghan War but in reality it was the Soviet–American War.

At the very least you should watch the movie Charlie Wilson's War and you will be amazed at what this guy did. You can't make this stuff up as no one would believe it. But as one person says The movie is "a cutesy-poo movie filled with likable actors, it completely omitted the good parts of the story and didn't even scratch the surface on what really happened." Read the book.
