Winter Olympics

Well, the Winter Olympics are over. Of course, I rooted for Estonia, Sweden, the USA, and, for good measure, Kazakhstan. Russia's attempt for a Winter Olympics was amusing at best, but I have more flexibility as of late, so I could watch the Olympic stats more closely.

I was surprised at the showing of Kazakhstan and Belarus. It's interesting to see those ex-Soviet nations pull off a good show. Estonia, alas, did not do so well, but Sweden did quite good.

The Olympics are a good show. They reek of both nationalism and globalism, but it's fun to have a peaceful rivalry with nations both large and small.

Anyway, that's all I have to say for now. Tere hommikust.
