Since when is it wacky to know where recent Olympic games were held? Seemed like a gimme. Atlanta, Sydney, Athens, Beijing.

Q5: Saw the British House of Cards, not the American remake. Never watched Full House. Guessing D strongly, but wouldn't say; would ATA.

Q6: Knew 2008 was Beijing, but just couldn't remember which year was Sidney. Sorry. JTQ


Q7: Surprised anyone would go out on this. Glad she walked, as she was leaning wrong. I guess the global warming message hasn't gotten out enough. After all.

1996 was Atlanta, 2000 was Sydney, 2004 was Athens, 2008 was Beijing. Only Sydney is not a national capital.

Like Liza, I wouldn't have thought that glaciers could disappear that quickly. I know the Corps of Engineers has been working for years trying to keep the Everglades viable. I'd have to JTQ.
