Beijing 2008 - The countdown continues...

Things are winding down now, we're getting closer to the wire, and there are lots of signs of the last-minute crush of preparation. Everywhere (and at any given hour) you can see people getting things ready for the Olympics.

It's 10:30 on a Saturday Night...
These poor bastards are installing manhole covers on Beichen Xilu near the Watercube...

Say what you will... but Communism Gets Shit Done.
(a/k/a Nothing is impossible for the man who doesn't have to do it himself.)

Everywhere in Beijing, but especially near the Olympic Green, there are scads of Chinese people out there Getting It Done.

I was out walking last night and shot a few pics around the IBC...

Inside the IBC, near BOB and NBC.

And I know you've heard me talk about it...

The NBC Commissary. Tasty chow, and free too! (My favorite kind!)

One last one...
