It shouldn’t be surprising that Palm Discovery can avoid mentioning the Beijing Olympics since today is August 8, 2008 (8/8/08) which is the date of the opening of the 29th Olympiad. I’ve always been enamored with the Olympics as young as I can remember and it’s surprising that I am especially proud of this Olympics for China, considering my strong anti-Communist beliefs. But what an amazing opening ceremonies!
