Soil vs. dirt and the Olympics

[Patrick Drohan]

I have come to realize something. When a sport achievement is revered,
that achievement took place on soil rather than dirt.

Examples:
Canadian Olympic team gets rousing welcome on home soil at opening
ceremonies

Dirt does not seem to draw the same allure as an Olympic medal though.

Hmmm...why is this not the case with the rest of Society's events and
every-day life?

OK, I would fine Pat the dollar(see newsletter) He should have printed the D-word as "d***" in his short email, to avoid the fine.
