Things I heard on NPR today

Yoga can be competitive and they are trying to get it into the Olympics.....HUH? Seriously? Competitive how? Okay...apparently I don't know that much about Yoga.

A levee that failed in Missouri this morning was breached after a muskrat bore a hole into it and water leaked through.....What! So I'm thinking if a muskrat can cause a levee that is supposed to be holding back the MISSISSIPPI RIVER to fail then it must not be a very good levee.

Who can meditate the best? Who can achieve a "Chi" state the fastest? I know nothing about yoga, but I'm sure I wouldn't want to watch it as a competitive sport!
I'm glad we don't live on the edge of a large body of water. I wonder if they'll offer "muskrat insurance" now. :)

I agree! What a weird thing to compete...and I do understand some yoga.

I love the randomness of a muskrat causing a leaky levy. Not that I'd wish that on anyone, just that it seems so odd.

Thanks for sharing!

I hate yoga. Competitive? Hah!
I must have a really bad sense of humor because the Levee thing just made me laugh..

I didn't realize Yoga was a competitive sport!!! And the levees not holding up to a little muskrat?! That would be enough to make me move far from the M. river!
