I've seen what little they've covered.  I'm really disappointed in the
coverage.  I would much rather see less people reports and more
coverage.  At the rate they are going they are going to profile every
athlete in the Olympics except the equestrian.  I hope somebody is
taping it on videos to be sold later.

You haven't even been to see the horse park?  Thats terrible.  I have a
friend that is spending her vacation at the Equestrian Events.  As a
concession to her husband I think they are doing one or two non horse
events.  As to hot, we've exceeded our limit for 100+ days in one summer
long before the end of July.  We've had more 105+ days this year than in
the last 5.  Last night at 8:45 it was still 100.  You can't ride in
this type of weather.  There is too much heat and humidity.  We went out
and hosed the horses down tonight.  They really enjoyed it, especially
Smokey.  He hosed me down.

Yes.
