Not enough space in the Subject to properly thank Hillary Clinton for directing me to the CBC's airing (two hours) of the SCM World Championships. A show that CBC had kept mum about for the past few weeks. (I don't buy the TV guide......... a waste of money). I guess that such shows are Military or National Security secrets that must be kept well-hidden and unheralded. Anyway..............
I get home at around 3.15pm after my swim and gym and while waiting for the grill to heat (for a nice steak), I turn on CNN and what do I get but Hillary Clinton explaining her magic powers that will turn Big Oil into philanthropic organizations that will, gladly, (while rubbing their hands in glee and anticipation of their windfall profits at the prospects of raising their prices by so much more than the %age that they are supposed to absorb on behalf of the consumers), pay for the gas tax out of their record profits, I quickly click onto the on-air TV guide and see that CBC is airing the Manchester SCM World Championships. They started at 1400 (2pm) and I missed most of it.
I rush to get a Video tape and start recording and very quickly come to realize why I don't really "like" SCM (or SCY, for that matter). There's hardly any "swimming" to watch. It's all starts, SD/FKs, turns, more SD/FKs and that's it. 60% of races are underwater. 60% of races have ---really---nothing to do with the style of the race itself.
