just a day in the life of le tour

170 kilometers traveled

nearly an eleven percent gradient on one of the climbs

a rider riding into a car park on the descent to avoid crashing

ten minutes later, the yellow jersey goes into the same car park

crashes going around corners

a bike stuck in the underbrush

commentators saying things like "he's a crack descender"

(love you phil&paul)

the spectators lining the roads

and as dear bobke would say:

"It'll be a virtual schmegelfest of subhumanoids. That is just another way of saying the fans are going crazy. Fans get a little carried away on the mountainsides."

and the fans on today's mountainsides did not disappoint

 

a new addition:

Meet Stella!

(named after Stella Kowalski, of course)

She's an 11 week-old half Siamese half Ragdoll kitten.

We lover her. (And so does Chloe).

Attention! (again)

This is what my fridge looks like right now:

And this makes me extremely happy.

Attention!

Attention! Attention, everyone!

We found a store in Utah that sells Cheerwine. I might die from happiness. Only problem is, the store is about twenty minutes away, and it closes in fifteen. It opens at ten tomorrow morning. We're leaving at nine thirty. We may or may not buy up all the Cheerwine in the store.

What is Cheerwine, you may ask?
