Held every 4 years, this year in Rio De Janerio, 167 countries compete in many various sports & it's a Thrill to watch! It lasts a lil over 2 weeks. My favorite sport is gymnastics. Originated from sports events in Olympia, Greece very many centuries ago!
I can't wait til The Olympics start! I'll be glued to the TV & get to see excellent athletes from so many different countries! I love the opening & closing ceremonies too & the lighting of the Olympic Torch, the parade of flags from all the different countries. The Winter Olympics occur every 4 years staggered by a 2~year time frame from the Summer Olympics.

A vigilante town that used to have 1/2 million or a million residents due to the gold rush. It's known as "Fight Town USA". Evel Knievel, the original motorcycle stuntsman, lived there. The population is now about 33,000. It's often referred to as "Butt, Montana".
Butte, Montana sure is a unique place. It has the world's largest copper mine which is no longer in use. Residents are very friendly & strangers strike up conversations. The old open~pit copper mine is referred to as "The Pit" & is now full of water. It's Huge! The town of Walkersville, north of Butte, actually has people that live in Real tarpaper shacks! Most everyone there is poor & rent is cheap.

They're clay shapes that you put seeds on & water the open space inside & then it grows like hair. There's many different shapes & so fun!
