Ok.  Some of you might have heard that Vancouver, BC, is hosting some event.
 

Where ordinary people come from all over the world in order to compete in various events.
 

So I'm here and have known aboot it for quite some time now.  The local media reports run the gamut from cost overruns and 'Free Speech Areas' to the Olympic Torch's travel and the new streetlamps that have been put up in some places.
