Maximum velocity

Until you see it in person, you can't grasp how frickin' fast the skiers are going when they leave the jump. And the sound is great -- the loud clackety racket of their skis on the ice changing to the sheet-in-the-wind WHOOSH as they go airborne....

Yes, it's true!

Despite the Olympic Committee refusing to acknowledge it, there actually are female ski-jumpers! Here's Nina Lussi, 2nd-place finisher in the women's division at the Harris Hill Ski Jump event...

A Porsche Cayman parked at a hotel in Boston that has rounded-rectangle overhead lighting -- completely unretouched, except for hiding the real license plate number.
