Just saw a live report on FNC. The reporter was on a balcony and he asked the camera to scan over to the majestic Birds Nest Stadium. The smog was so thick you could hardly make it out! What a disaster!

Watching live ore-coverage on Taiwan TV. The air pollution is absolutely horrible. Looks like southern California fire smoke in the air. Visibility from hotel balcony is about 300 yards.
Action starts in about 30 minutes.

Here’s a little bit of fun trivia for you:
The mascots for the Olympics are 5 child-like representations of things like fire, fish, pandas, and antelope.
In China, a term of endearment for a child is to “double” their name. For instance, the names of the mascots, in order, are “Bei-Bei”, “Jing-Jing”, “Huan-Huan”, “Ning-Ning”, and “Yi-Yi”.
When you say their names singly, they come out as “Beijing huan ying ni”...”Welcome to Beiljng”.
BTW...according to the Beijing Olympic Commitee, the ‘official’ countdown begins at 7:56pm Beijing time. Supposedly, they have something ‘special’ planned.
We’ll see.

Not going to watch the Olympics because of the venue. However, I do wish the best for our ambitious, hard-working athletes.
