The official Olympic colors are green and turquoise, but it is a sea of red that dominates the landscape in this Olympic city. Russians, Brits, Austrians, Swiss (OK, they have matching flag colors) stand in long lines to buy crates of these Red Mittens.
These mittens are a good practical national symbol as it does get cold in Canada; that is, most years. Vancouver is experiencing the the warmest winter in 120 years! Actually, it seems it is the warmest Winter Olympics on record. This just might change Canada's reputation as the frozen tundra and may also add credibility to Al Gore's Hockey Stick theories about Global Warming. The mass of Olympic humanity here could also be raising CO2 levels???
