And... on the topic of the Winter Olympics, here is the state of the Olympic venues from '84's games:

Wow...I find that fascinating. I'd love to go camping there and exploring it at night. It appears a a lot of Olympic venues get the same treatment after an event passes. They build these huge structures for events and when the Olympics are done, there's absolutely no need for them any more.

I did a whole article on abandoned places, it's a really poignant subject for a lot of people.

Wow. Some really interesting places in that article vkimo. I would love to visit an abandoned theme park. It just seems so eerie and mystical in these images.

The funny thing about abandoned places is that, they aren't always "old". I have mentioned here before that my family visited a giant mall right in the middle of Orlando that couldn't have been there more than 10 years, and while still open, was almost completely vacant. The only exceptions were a food establishment and the movie theater. It was really weird to walk in empty halls of boarded up storefronts in a place as happening as Orlando.

Remember being excited about school closings during wintertime as a kid?

Heck yeah I do

That's the thing that irks me these days, is that the little bit of snow will result in either a 2 hour delay, or just a complete day off school.

When I was in school, it seemed as though it had to snow a great deal more before we were let out or it was called off.

Maybe it has something to do with the economy.  As in, 30 years ago, there were more plows but now austerity policies make it harder for things to run as smoothly as they used to.

One month til Spring. Two months til Easter.

 

 

It can't get here fast enough. Please, please Lord... send us some Spring in February!

No longer be blue
Have fun at the zoo
Or buy a new loo
to flush pee and poo.
