Today is Chile Fried Hockey Sunday.
With Chile, keep the people in your hearts. The idea that this was not as bad as Haiti because “only” 300 (since updated to 700) people died is not the case. Hundreds of thousands of people are displaced or have damaged homes. Keep them in your hearts, love them, and pray for them.
As an American, I was listening nervously on the radio yesterday hoping that Hawaii would be spared. There was even talk of a Tsunami hitting Los Angeles and San Diego. I was in Arizona, but am back in Los Angeles. Driving in an Arizona rainstorm is not fun, but by the time I reached Las Vegas the night skies were clear and safe all the way home.
Weather will do what it does and we are at its mercy.
In America, the Gold Medal hockey game against Canada takes place. Canada has home ice advantage in Vancouver. America has the memories of the 2002 shellacking we took at Salt Lake City, Utah.
Some may question focusing on the Olympics when world tragedies are happening, but this is not fair. We have to live our lives. This does not make us insensitive or uncaring.
If America loses today I will order the burning of all copies of the movie “Canadian Bacon.”
Anyway, I drove last night from Kingman, Arizona to Los Angeles. I am fried.
This concludes Chile Fried Hockey Sunday.

Update: We lost 3-2 in overtime. The President should immediately begin carpetbombing Canada. They are the scourge of the North.

I thought all copies of that movie were already burned years ago! (Where’s my flamethrower…?)
