Gold in Women’s Water Polo and Football, UConn gets a scare.
Women power U.S. Olympic team

U.S. victories Thursday in the women’s soccer and water polo finals followed a notable trend at this year’s Summer Olympics: American women are winning most of the country’s medals.
American women have hauled in more than one-third more medals than U.S. men, including twice as many gold medals. And that’s despite the fact that 10 percent fewer women’s medals have been awarded so far.
My memories of Flint are as a fairly substantial urban center with lots of Arenas and Halls put up by the Manufacturers and Unions and a ring of Factories (all GM). Some dense housing but mostly 1 story brick ranches with barely a basement for storms. Now of course Rabbits for Pets or Meat post-apocalyptic Road Warrior. It is also flat, dry, and dusty.
