The last time Lisa Cooke of Falmouth watched the Olympics with her husband and children, she realized it was time to become an American citizen.
Cooke, a native Australian, rooted for Australia while her British husband, Paul, cheered on the United Kingdom's athletes. That left their two children, Douglas, now 8, and Adelaide, now 11, to support the U.S. teams.

AN ONLINE news source, Adelaide Now, ran a story on how the Australian city would be adopting a solution to street racing - crushing offenders' cars - that was pioneered in Ontario.
And then the Web site had to update the story with an interesting correction:

This morning's mail had a message I'd been dreading: I didn't get the job I'd applied for. I'd had several interviews, was one of their top three choices, and it took me three months to get to this point. Now I have to start over. I'm pretty discouraged. What happened?

Neighbors are often strangers in our modern world, and strangers are to be feared. Yet an unidentified person with whom I have no ties is standing by to spend up to four hours showing me around his or her home town, a major U.S. city, for free.
What's more, there are 180 volunteers who do this for the Chicago Greeter program. It's an idea copied more than two years ago from, of all places, New York City. Now two Australian cities -- Melbourne and Adelaide -- have started matching homegrown volunteers with visitors from around the world. The volunteers, I hear, are filled with civic pride and just want to help outsiders enjoy the places they love. It's enough to restore a cynic's faith in humanity.

In a column last May, I pointed out the increase in our life expectancy and identified some parts of the world where they were doing even better. This week I had the pleasure of spending an hour with Adelaide Rosenberger, a very pleasant lady who was born in 1903. Now, at 103, she is very much alert and in command. Her memory seemed better than mine, and she spoke cheerfully about her history and the changes we have experienced.
One of the most interesting things about this lady is that she has spent her entire life within a very small area near her birthplace. In today's mobile society (at least to one who has moved as much as I have) that makes her unique. She was educated in the local Catholic school system and is a life member of the local parish.

A chef-led tour of the Central Market in Adelaide, Australia, was a highlight of my visit earlier this month.
I joined Mark Gleeson, a chef who had been a vendor at the market more than 20 years and now operates Central Market Tour, for a two- hour walk through the market to learn more about the unique foods to be found Down Under.
