I tried to send the poor lad a sympathy card, but was threatened with bodily harm if I did such a thing. Geez, women can be really touchy about such things.

The Great Silver Celica Hunt
Its been raining pretty steadily for the past few days. When it rains, normal people tend to slow down abit, but apparently people who own silver Celicas are incapable of slowing down.

As I was coming down a two lane road, one such Celica came flying down a side connecting street. The driver misjudged his speed, slammed on his breaks, and began sliding.

A quick swerve to the other lane and a hard right swerve to swing the tail out allowed the Celica to miss me by at least a foot. If I hadnt been driving my BMW, I would have been sideswiped for sure. The Jeep just doesnt have the same manuverablity.

So after nearly crashing into either me or into a fence, what does this person do? Speeds down the street behind me.

If it werent for a flooded section of the road that forced all the cars to slow down, the wee bastard would have tried to pass me.

Sometimes stupidity isnt painful enough.

Out in The Yard
Tour de France:
Lance pulls a rabbit out the hat. He holds the lead by just over 20 secs and had to go offroad to avoid a crashing Joseba Beloki.

Beloki is a very strong competitor who has won second place the past few years, but this crash has taken him out of the Tour. Hopefully Beloki will be able to recover from his injuries quickly. He will be missed.

Kudos to Jimmy Caspar. Caspar was part of the major crash in Stage 1 and had been riding all this time with a neck brace. The injuries finally got the best of him today, but still managed to do seven stages and what had to be over 500 miles of cycling.

And there is Tyler Hamiliton who is riding with a fractured collarbone.

I can only hope to be tough as these men.

I am a firm believer that the state government of Mississippi has no idea what the hell its doing, especially with its alienation of affection law. Here is a story that proves it.

Background Noise
The replay of today's stage of the Tour de France is playing on OLN. I was listening to the stage on OLN's website this morning, but people kept coming up to my desk and asking me questions. So what else can I say?

"Hi, my name is Ken and I'm a cycling addict."
