China has developed a plan to deal with Beijing's pollution problem if the fog persists 48 hours before the opening ceremonies. The plan calls for shutting down all factories in Beijing, halting all construction projects and dramatically restricting the amount of cars on the road. I can't even imagine walking around in that kind of pollution, much less if I were a world class athlete! Which I'm not, unless you count blogging. Which should really be an Olympic sport, I think. Don't you?

A woman's body was found in the lavatory of a Delta Airlines flight early Wednesday morning. The flight, which was coming from California, was on the final descent to Atlanta when flight attendants noticed that the restroom was occupied. They then found the body of a 61 year old woman who was headed to Florida for a wedding. I sort of hope that these crazy circumstances surrounding the death fit with the personality of this lady. That would SO be me, the one who dies on the toilet.

(And I just can't help myself, segueing into another woman on a toilet story... The boyfriend of the woman in Kansas who was stuck to a toilet will not face jail time.)
