A little drizzle did not dampen the spirits on Marshell road February 7, 2010 waiting for the

torch to run by.

The bus carrying the Torch barriersWaiting his turn to run.

I wanted to see my friend Alanna Dean run with the Olympic torch. I couldn't find her But I did catch two torch barriers, and watched the people, children to grandma's and grandpa's waiting to see the flame go by. On my way home I saw a young women raising a sign high in the air, She wore a black short sleeve shirt and black pants. She was bright and cheery even in the drizzle and chill. The sign read "Education over Olympics" Will the benefits outweigh the disadvantages? Time will tell.
