Wednesday


In case you weren't aware, the Olymics began today with the Canada v Japan football (soccer) game.  Above is Canada's goal which brought the score to 1 ALL.  Unfortunately Japan score one more and Canada didn't.  It ended 2-1.  They lost,  but considering they were playing the team in first place (and Canada sits in 7th place), it wasn't a bad start.


There was an air show on at the airport this afternoon.  The Snowbirds have been in town for a few days now (I did see them fly over my house on Sunday).  The show began with parachuters drifting down to the airport with Canada Flag parachutes.


The traffic along the highway was amazing.  Was I in Vancouver or Toronto during rush hour??  I have never seen it so busy (except during 9-11 when they evacuated downtown Whitehorse).


Then, finally, after two Air North (Yukon's Airline) flights arrived, the Snowbirds were able to use the runway and put on their show.  Excellent as always.
