      I watched it like bright and early this morning, but more folks probably know. Way to go Naomi Osaka, that was awesome to see her lighting the flame as the final torch runner.

      I'm just a surge protector doing my job, sir.

        I'm watching it now, and all I can think of is sympathy for Japan. All those expensive, empty stadiums and facilities. Countries never make back what they spend for these events, but that's definitely true for Japan in this case.

          Yeah, that's a hard one. And they had a doctor and nurse as part of the torch teams in the stadium, that really hit home. I'm impressed and then sad yeah. The outdoor events have some people in the stands. Or cycling finish is getting people in seats. Still the indoor ones are empty.
