Having been a hockey fan for over 70 years, I just had to congratulate
our Canadian teams, the gals, and the guys, who took gold medals this
week. They all musta been imbibing in habanero mash, rather than all
those other funny substances that some of the other folk from other
countries were using. Just look what chile peppers can do! Now I have
no proof that all of the Canadian team members eat chiles, but they
certainly must have been eating something that put fire in their feet!
All levity aside, all of Canada stands proud tonight because of the
efforts of our Canadian athletes. To take nothing from our Merkin
cousins, they also should be proud of their fine showing in these winter
games. Canada, with 17 medals has done better than in any other winter
Olympics, and stands fourth behind Germany, USA, Norway! Fantastic!! I
am proud to be a Canadian Chile Head! Cheers, Doug in Nanaimo BC
