Hi el Mat, congratulations on Rio getting the Olympics! But I am puzzled, isn't this the summer Olympics, and won't it be winter in Brazil?

Earlier this week NPR (National Public Radio) had a show on how no city which ever got the Olympics actually made money, in fact, every city that got the Olympics lost money, except for maybe an increase in international trade, which was hard to measure. But certainly an increase in prestige.

Personally, as someone who is a fan of Chicago, I am glad for Chicago that they lost the bid. I like Chicago just the way it is. The traffic is already horrible.
