Canada’s Kurt Oatway critical of the para alpine skiing conditions after missing a gate and ending his run.

He says the Paralympics need to be moved earlier in the winter. Spring skiing just isn’t it.

The snow is slush. It’s not ideal for the athletes. At all.

BRONZE MEDALLISTS - MEN’S VISUALLY IMPAIRED SUPER-G

KALLE ERICSSON AND GUIDE SIERRA SMITH — THEIR SECOND MEDAL OF THE PARALYMPICS

ONE MILLION VIEWS

Jon Thurston’s extraordinary wheelchair curling shot yesterday has been viewed one million times on our @cbcsports Instagram

I’ve likely accounted four about 357 of those views. The shot heard round the world. All the talk here in Cortina and beyond.

The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.

A senseless, criminal waste

Going to check that out. This is an advent sock skein.

Starting sleeves today. The yarn, from The Cozy Knitter, is making all the difference.

When my older offspring suggested it was the technicolor dream coat, I countered with Dolly. Same root story.

ICE arrested an Oregon shop owner who had her green card in her pocket: ‘They didn’t care’ Juanita Avila later helped expose ICE’s ‘arrest first, justify later’ tactics in a lawsuit that won a major victory for immigrants’ rights

NEW: ICE tackled + arrested Juanita Avila, an Oregon shop owner who is a legal permanent resident and had her green card in her pocket.

When she asked through sobs why they didn't believe her, one masked agent replied: “Because they lie all the time.”

Video + interview with her and her daughter:

Please let me know if you remember. Thank you. I have a basic baby sweater pattern that I have knit about 20 of, over the years. This one is new to me, and I'm enjoying the process.

A brightly striped knitted baby sweater in progress, so far without sleeves.

Day 15 #100DayProject #100DaysOfStitchMaking #CraftSky #ShoweredInRainbows sweater now has two fronts and button bands. I did end up reworking the buttonholes because I goofed and didn't set them in garter stitch the first time. Now off to #SleeveIsland

Woohoo!

Also not math/sci minded, so it was not easy.

I was able to take a class, and there were only 3 of us, which was super helpful. My husband and I both have our licenses, and pre ubiquitous cell phones, had a unit in our car. Helped a lot in the blackout of 03.

David Attenborough [whispering]:

“As the predators close in on their helpless prey, we can only watch in silent horror, for it is not man’s role to interfere in the hierarchy of nature.”

Working on a new to me baby sweater construction, and hugely enjoying it.

Two scientists walk through a cluttered old-fashioned science laboratory. The female scientist says “Analogue instruments! Paper records! Chalk boards! I thought you'd agreed to modernise the laboratory?” The male scientist replies “That's what i'm so excited about: we have moved to cloud-based storage for our data!” They step out onto a balcony. She says: “Please tell me you haven't built a library zeppelin” This is exactly what he has done. It floats across the sky and he adds “It's got a fax machine!”

Have a great time.

Ohhhh. Grey morning beach walk perfectly captured.

Thanks. Jewel tones are much happy place

One of my first concerts in high school was their first N.American tour!

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.
