A Record Breaking (or setting) Day
Alex Trebek makes it into the Guinness Book of world
records for hosting a record number of game shows, Jeopardy. Yesterday he
hosted his 6,829th episode. Jeopardy is one of the shows I actually like to
watch on TV too so I thought this was pretty cool. Alex Trebek is 73 years old,
and looks to me to have aged pretty well. At least he has all the answers (in
the form of a question) when it comes to game show longevity.
Bolivia is financing its own cable car system
connecting the sprawling city of La Paz and the El Alto, high in the Andes.
This cable car system is the world’s highest. When finished, it will run 10 km
long and 4,000 feet above sea level, pretty amazing. Bolivian President, Evo
Morales, sees this venture as a major boost for tourism in Bolivia and seems
quite proud of the fact that they have not had to go outside their country for
help in financing this venture. I’ll check with my brother (currently residing
in Bolivia) on how much it costs to ride and get back with you on that.
