Entirely unrelated to open-sourcery, but an interesting
anecdote to boot...
Last night I was driving home from a friend's house around
midnight. As I was driving up Van Ness St, a major street
that cuts through San Francisco, I stopped at a traffic
light. In the lane next to me was a black Chevy with a
picture of a lit Olympic torch silkscreened onto the door,
and the words '2002 Olympic Torch Relay' on the back. I
gave the driver a friendly smile and thumbs up, and he
waved back. The light changed to green, and I drove on.
As I was driving along at about 30mph, the car caught up
with me, and the woman in the passenger seat rolled her
window down, and yelled "Hey! I have something for you!",
holding out her hand. I reached out my window, grabbed the
small item, and yelled back a thank you. The item turned
out to be a little gold 'Salt Lake City - 2002 Olympic
Torch Relay' pin. A really cool souvenir to have!
Since the torch
arrives in
San Francisco today, I wonder if this is the actual
vehicle that carries the torch from place to place?
