I agree that a blocky red white and blue pattern might stop people from buying it because they don't want to look too much like the flag (this is absolutely never a problem with Jamaica's black, green, and gold, FTR, but I have not seen what our athletes jacket up in this year--but Puma sells our colours deliberately year round, and I see them on the streets both in LA and Jamaica)--however, the patch on the front is illegible from more than a few feet away, and jury's out on the back, since that evidence has not gone in front of the court.
But couldn't there be some sort of a compromise, of a mostly-grey jacket, but with distinctive red, white, and blue trim that is visible both on the back and front? I mean, you guys do still like your flag, don't you?
My TV is showing me ten-day old clouded leopard cubs. I approve.
There's a character named Zoe in Suits, and it's weirding me out seeing Gina Torres call someone that. Jessica couldn't be less like Zoe (except that they're totally amazing and rock), but I still get whiplash.
Hey ita, the CBC did a mini doc on why Jamaica is so dominant in track and field. (I have to admit, I only watched the beginning, it came on as I was going to bed.)

Thanks Sue--I'll have a look.
I have lunch with two Buffistas today! LALALALA!!!
YAY!
(This almost never happens in KC; allow me my gloat! And two, I think, 'Ffistas I have not met F2F! WOO!)
You weren’t at the Chicago F2F, Strix?
Ha ha, I have defeated technology and managed to start streaming tennis at a crucial point in the match that's currently airing!
Strix was in Chicago. To be fair, I was too, and I completely blanked that I "met" Plei. It felt so big and it was so weird having to learn to talk to one or two people at a time, instead of everyone!
I have three somewhat random things to share/ask:
1. Would you consider David Bowie Classic Rock? For some reason it is driving me crazy that he is classified that way in a Facebook game.
2. This is literally the cutest thing I have ever seen. A baby wombat and a baby kangaroo (orphans) who SHARE THE SAME POUCH!!!!! [link]
3. I just read a post on Jezebel about zoos culling the baby animals, and it is making me so sad. It wouldn't if I didn't spend so much time looking at baby zoo animals on zooborns-- I don't want to look at pictures of animals before they are killed!
I spilt oil on my brand new skirt and people in another department were just smartasses to me for no good reason. Oh Friday, how very Monday of you.
