I've got another 2 & 1/2 hours before live coverage. Going to watch cricket & maybe catch up on a few mising zzzzzzzz's.

PS Think I got air rifled today. Some little bugger's made a hole in my thigh. No swelling, no blood. Just hurts like hell.

I'm going to stop picking GC contenders. Canc.'s Swiss Duh! Obvious choice now. And you know I like Moncoutie for one stage somewhere.

Come on you Schlecks.

They're not letting the break away get more than 4:00 - 5:00 out... they've reeled them back in to around 3:30... the rubber band stretches and contracts.

Hey guys, just back from my 40-miler today. Race looks good so far. Looks like this is where the tour starts...

My boss and his boss went skiing out at Verbier last Feb and they said they don't know how anyone could ride up that mountain.

Unfortunately, I was changing two diapers, so I missed it and don't want to go back. Wait a sec...commercial.

I'll see what they were.

That turbine is just a little fella. I do big stuff over here GE 1.5 MWs. I think GE has some 1 MW turbines in England and Scotland. Do you see them often?

Looks like you guys can stop picking him finally. He's seemed lost this whole tour. Sorry to say.

Think there's some turbines over near manchester but nothing around here. Have seen some home made signs, about 20 miles away. " No wind farm around here!" so someone must be thinking about it.

Sorry Cat. I know he's one of your favorites.

The Anti-Wind people are pretty vocal in several areas in the US too. We try to work with them, but they can get pretty cantankerous and what it all comes down to is does the area need the tax revenue or not...if so, we usually win any fight.
