Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

As I used neither my TV nor my computer to watch the Winter Olympics, I have no idea.

Just what I was thinking, Gringo. I clicked on the comments to find out, but no answer here.

Fifth. Did not watch any part of the Winter Olympics, even though our parrot does like watching figure skating. Tried to find a video -- got a lot of fireworks, and that was about it. I could maybe have searched longer, but life is short and I had better things to do.

"Broken Ring"

The original was in the opening ceremony, the knock-off was in the closing ceremony.

There were winter olympics in Sochi, Russia? I guess I need to buy a TV.
