Bobsledding Into History !

Hey Silverhorner! How are you tonight? Cold? I bet...it's frrrrrigginggg f-f-f-f-reezing here on the mountain....cold...it goes right through ya....I guess the only thing to do is get some human bed warmers! That's what you get if you stay at a London, England,  Holiday Inn ! A human bed warmer....now that...is quality customer service.

The cold London nights will be no longer, at least not in the hotel, because they are sending a staff member dressed in a one piece fleece sleeper suit to crawl under your covers and warm things up for you.....uh-huh. When you come to bed, your fleecy buddy gets up and leaves, and you tuck into 20 degree Celsius (68 Fahrenheit) cozy comfort. Now that....is living the life.....Think I'm making this up? Read the story, Hotel Bedwarmers

And from the Just Too Funny To Let Pass files, here is British bobsledder Gillian Cooke at the start of the first run in the bobsled World Cup competition in St. Moritz. Oh those British....oh spandex pants....

I bet Gillian was glad to slip into a nice warm bed at the Holiday Inn after that one....especially if it was one with a fleecy human bed warmer.

Yes...well....not funny to laugh at other's misfortune, on the other hand, there are not too many bobsledders in the world as famous as Gillian Cooke is tonight....in fact, she is the only bobsledder whose name I know.....

So to bring you back to earth, normality and some semblence of dignity, I picked this next video clip from the extensive archives here at the Lodge....actually I got it on YouTube....
