The USA v ITALY Men’s Olympic volleyball match was a cracker. That should’ve been the Gold Medal match.
With the Olympics winding down I was recalling the 1984 LA Olympics. Lived in Redondo Beach. Preorded tix in late ‘83. We got what we ordered for rowing, volleyball and track and field. We were very lucky to get closing ceremony tix in the lottery. www.csmonitor.com/1983/0622…
It’s was a very entertaining Olympic sailing regatta. Showing the World Feed meant longer waits between races and for wind, but also no commercials and more history and background on the sailors. Typical Sailing races on TV are cut for time.
Out for my walk. Came across yellow, white, pink and variegated (pink and white) plumeria trees. We had all 4 of these in our yard when I was a kid. I remember we would get out the lei needles and make fresh flowers lei as a family whenever we had family come to town or for a birthday or other special occasion.
Not sure what the growers are doing different, but we’ve have great white peaches at Costco for 6 weeks now in Hawaii. Normally only one or two shipments a season. Love fresh white peaches with my oatmeal in the morning or with ice cream.
Looks like it’s Spain’s Gold. France are full of holes in the back. Big hill to climb. Spain 3-1 France in 1st half
I wish we still had a proper book or record store in Kona. I’m (hopefully) still 5 years from retirement, but would love to spend retirement working in one.

Classic, Love it. Irish call of the 2012 Olympics sailing
Thank you IOS and watch Betas for giving me the amazing opportunity to charge my devices twice a day.
The updated Sonos app still has issues. It often doesn’t see the speaker that is actually playing something and directs me to speaker that’s not.
I had certain workflows and muscle memory in the Overcast app that are totally messed up. Jury is still out. May move to a different app
I’ve watched dozens of sailing races in Olympics. US sailors just aren’t good at going fast. Leeward tack, windward tack, downwind, doesn’t matter. Middle of the pack at best.
