Lost Camera
Yesterday I went to Donosti for some Tapas and beach action, and ended up
losing my camera 🙁 I left it on a bar, and when I came back to get it, it had disappeared.
Not strange, since the bar was plenty of people, so anyone could have taken it.

Olympic Games
It happened two years ago in the Basketball World Cup in Indianapolis: the USA Basketball team,
formed by NBA players (all of them 1st level players) went to the World Cup without a
real preparation; no team plays and nothing known about their opponents. The result was that
they lost against Argentina (the 1st team to beat the NBA-based USA team), Serbia and
Spain, and finished in 6th place, which could be considered a ridiculous final place for a team
formed by players from the best league in the world. This time for the Olympics, the situation seems to be
similar, and yesterday they lost
against Puerto Rico (92-73) in the first game. If they continue this way, they will
lose the gold medal (for the first time for an NBA-based USA team), specially when they have
to play against real favorites for the gold, like Argentina, Serbia, Spain or Lithuania. Not
winning the gold would be a huge disaster for the USA team.
Lesson to learn: never underestimate your ennemy’s intelligence, even when you are the best.
