The Winter Special Olympics took place at the nearby ski resort on Monday and Tuesday. Downhill, cross country, and snowshoe races. With the wind chill factor the temperature was well below zero both days. I went over on Tuesday. I can't recall ever being so cold. I was impressed with the athletes' ability to put up with the bitter cold and also with their determination. I was even more impressed with the volunteers who worked as timers and escorts for the athletes. Most of the volunteers were out all day in that intense cold.
We human beings are a marvelous lot.
