Apparently gas leaks are not that uncommon. My sister comes running up to my room telling me that there are cops, firetrucks, and an ambulance in front of our house. Our neighbors had a gas leak in their house. When we walked outside the rotten egg smell was very strong and was the reason my neighbors are still alive. With out that rotten egg indicator their chances of making it through the night diminishes greatly. I am so glad that was mandatory in home making. This is a scary thing. I was curious about the rotten egg smell and found this pretty interesting.

Colorado State Wrestling Tournament!

So many wrestlers poured into the Pepsi Center this weekend. Starting early on Thursday morning, the 2012 Colorado High School State Wrestling Tournament was on. There were boys making history, boys proving themselves, girls paving their way in the sport, and there was a memorable weekend. Dwight Howes, Senior at Arvada high school, really had a fantastic showing by going undefeated this entire season. Howes took his second Colorado State Wrestling Championship on Saturday night. Howes is going to the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs to train until he leaves for college in September. He will go to New York to wrestle for Hofstra University. I am so proud of him and the rest of the Arvada clan (Marcos Peralta and Garet Krohn).

Betting on Olympics for Charities...

Betting on the Olympic Trials is condoned by the United States Olympic Committee. Because those placing bets cannot gain any profit, they are wagering money on the qualifying of the athletes on the site. You can bet on if the athlete will make the Olympic team or not. Charities make all the profits from the bets placed. I think this is a cool idea to get more money for charities. The website is Charitybets.com to place your wager!

Wow! Tuberculosis is scary. Because TB is often lethal this is on the same level as the college meningitis outbreak a while back. Good thing the TB is latent (not actively symptomatic or contagious) still. TB can manifest from latent into pulmonary with no warning, and that is the stage it can kill. Because TB starts in the lungs, respiratory problems are a first sign of the bacterial infection. I just don't understand how almost half of all people tested at Longmont High School came up positive if the strain is not contagious yet. Questions to be answered soon I hope.
