Canada wins Gold
Canada defeated the U.S. in overtime to win the gold medal in Olympic hockey, sending both countries into a celebration as the Canadians get the championship and Americans get to stop pretending they care about hockey.



Cooper to CBS?
CBS is reportedly in talks to hire CNN's Anderson Cooper. Executives believe Cooper will be the perfect hire to help all of CBS's elderly viewers fall asleep without medication.



Obama Medical Advice
President Obama's doctor has told him to cut his cholesterol levels. Obama responded by threatening to cut his Medicare reimbursements and blaming him for killing his mother.



Florida Threat
Florida is the deadliest state in the U.S. for pedestrians and bicyclists... most of them get mowed down daily by 95-year-olds speeding to get to the early bird special.



California Animal Abuse
California is considering making animal abusers publicly register their names like sex offenders... confusing most of the people in Bakersfield who only sexually abuse animals.






March 1st

1565: The city of Rio de Janeiro is founded. Thong underwear is invented minutes later.

5 weeks ago starting long term stay in Andalusia, Spain

It is still "Invierno" in southern Spain. When we arrived Andalusia five weeks ago the rain (lluvia) and heavy wind (viento fuerte) was hot on every TV-channel. Since mid December they had not experienced that kind of rainy weather for 60 years, and the waves became green or grey when meeting the normally white beaches at Torreblanca.

And it should only be worse during our stay.
Especially in the Cadiz Province and the municipality Jerez de la Frontera we could watch the flooding in streets and see land slides destroying the "Naranja" (orange) harvest.
The weather between Puerto Banus in south west and Malaga more north east along the Costa del Sol was not so bad, but trees fell down along the beautiful Paseo del Parque in Malaga city.
"Bad" weather was no obstacle for our daily return exercise along the 7.5 km Paseo Maritimo. Along the beaches from our apartment hotel close to Castillo Sohail to Torreblanca, we could watch artists creating sand sculptures which had to be maintained every morning due to the wind, rain and sea.
The waves (olas) meeting the Stream of Fuengirola River was often used by surfers, but many days the river brought with it lots of bamboo stocks and mud making surfing very dangerous.
