I saw a lot of police just standing around ...everywhere. In the mall, outside on Granville Street, watching street hockey. Here Gregor Robertson was playing hockey while the police looked on.

Not quite the same, but getting there. The rain kept people away, but it cleared up later at night and I had already left downtown.



Amusing signs, but these kids seem like they're doing okay in financial terms...






Then over to the Olympic Cauldron for the relighting.

Captain Canada!







Miss Canada





& of course, the Blue Jackets. Love them or hate them, they were a big part of the Olympics.

Those loser kids with anti-Bieber signs. LOL.

Every one of them would trade places with him in a heartbeat. They're just jealous of Justin. Those kids have no future with attitudes like that. Haters with little to show for themselves. Now if they were successful themselves and held those signs, no problem.

Those kids have no idea what hard work and perseverance means.

I have a lot of national pride and is a big hockey lover and enjoyed watching the games on tv and such. Hell I was looking forward to it sooooo much.

But Something bad happened to me during that time (especially at the very last day of the Olympic games) so even though I'm so proud of the Olympics and the athletes and had chills and moments of pride throughout the event, it will always be tied to that bad thing. I can never look back at it in a positive light again. Right now I can't wait for this anniversary stuff to end.

The warehouse in Burnaby had the DVD set, but I didn't check if it was actually DVD or Bluray. This is the place that gives you free Olympic plushies and shit. I was there this past weekend. They had the DVD's on sale for $29.95, IIRC.

Give them a call. They only open Fridays through Sunday, but are there the other days.

Worth a try..............

100% worth buying, bluray looks great and it captures all the best moments plus shows all canada hockey games in their entirety without the stuff in between/comercials
