Women's Olympic Basketball

It has been an exciting time watching all the Olympic events. There is so much talent from all the countries involved. But the United States beat South Korea 104 - 60 and it seems Sylvia Fowles and the U.S. women's basketball team were too big for South Korea. Fowles felt she hadn't played well the first two games. She kind of got down on herself. But she scored 26 points and grabbed 14 rebounds, so she really contributed to the win for the United States. The Americans face Russia in one semifinal Thursday.

Temperatures Rising

Temperatures are rising and it hit 58 degrees today. You should see the lakes and rivers of water everywhere but we have a great deal of snow to melt yet. It was time to get out a spring coat as the winter coat was just too warm and put the gloves away for a day. Tomorrow is supposed to be colder and maybe some showers and snow mixture even. When it gets this warm, then we get fog and sometimes it is very thick and very dangerous. They say Des Moines, Iowa broke another record with 75 degrees. Our home team went to State to play boys basketball but they lost. They were there in 2005 too and lost and were really hoping to bring home a trophy this year but it was not to be. Beautiful days like this are few and far between this time of year and you really hate to see them come to an end but the sun will be going down soon and you never know for sure what tomorrow will bring.
