1. I am listening to my grandson's college jazz radio show. Way better than curling. n/t

[3catwoman3]

3. My parents used to curl, so I have a bit...

...of a soft spot for it. Tried it myself a few times, and it requires considerable finesse.

4. I avoid ice in all sizes bigger than my cooler will hold. n/t

7. Once upon a time years ago, I watched curling.

In person. In the Alps.

Sitting in a Gasthaus watching out the window while drinking a wonderful Austrian brew.

Sigh. A wonderful afternoon.

I hear ya; I can’t watch any more of the coverage either.

8. Watching "Monsters Inside Me" on Animal Planet.

I've had enough political coverage to do me for awhile, thank you very much.

11. This kind of curling?

Who can blame you.

[bdamomma]

13. Should we

boycott the news tonight to give ourselves a break? But I loved Senator Franken giving his comment on the floor of the Senate today.

I don't he will slip away in the darkness.......sigh

This was a set up to keep him away from Sessions, Senator Franken had him on the ropes.

14. Not me - back to Chris Hayes

ReTHUGs and Fux are trying to shut down Mueller - why are they repeating this Fux shit?

[bdamomma]

16. hey malaise

I know I am watching now but I have the sound down. Now they are moving to their next target Mueller .. Yeah Sam Seder Love him he is back.

15. Curling is awesome

I'm glad John Shuster and Nina Roth got through in the American trials a couple of weeks ago, assuming Trump allows them to compete.

I liked Jamie Sinclair at skip but overall Roth's team was stronger.

Shuster takes tons of abuse during every Olympics so I admire his persistence. He's in much better shape this time and the team has been quietly a force at the world level, with a bronze and 4th place in the two most recent world championships.

Tyler George at 3rd on that team is simply a great player. I'm happy he finally gets to go to the Olympics.

The United States mixed trials begin in a week or so. Many of the individuals from the men's and women's teams will attempt mixed also. It is a new Olympic event and will begin prior to Opening Ceremony.

The Canadian Trials are going on right now, the Roar of the Rings. That is incredibly intense, the highest caliber of curling you'll ever see team to team. Last year both the Canadian men's and women's teams swept through the world championships undefeated but in this event those same teams are capable of getting beat right off the bat. In fact, it happened to Rachel Homan's team. They have battled back and are in contention for the playoffs to decide the Olympic berth. But right now Chelsea Carey's team is unbeaten and has defeated both Homan and also the defending Olympic champion Jennifer Jones, who is beyond her prime but still capable at a given event.

On the Canadian men's side it will probably be either Team Gushoe or Team Koe. Gushoe was favored and reigning world champion but so far Kevin Koe has won all the tight matches this week and is still unbeaten. Defending Olympic champion Brad Jacobs is struggling to make the playoffs. Right now it looks like it won't happen.

17. It's snowing in San Antonio!!!!!!!

It never snows here.

We are having huge flakes.

It is keeping me distracted. I was depressed all day yesterday and today.

Snow was the last thing anyone around here expected. It hasn't snowed in 30 years. (Although we have had sleet and pellets a few times)

[Upthevibe]

19. It's so cool that it's snowing in San Antone....I heard it's snowing in Corpus too!

We were going to take a break from the news too but I really like Chris and Rachel and want to get their perspectives.....

[LeftInTX]

21. One of my Facebook friends drove from Corpus to San Antonio in this stuff

Everyone loves snow around here, as long as you don't have to drive in it.

18. My TV is off. I watched the weather channel most of the day.

[Phonebank4Tendies]

22. The only curling I've experienced today

is me curling up in a ball and crying several times. Trump is winning and the democrats are doing everything they can to self-destruct and enable it.
