Artemis - 2008-07-28 1:58 AM I am back. It's really humid and gross. It was like 84 when I left, 87 now, but 65% humidity. I hope it rains today.

Yuck - you must be looking forward to a shower!

Yep, but my husband is in right now. He got back from his run first.

hehe Im just imagining you looking like your avatar about that

Nah. Didn't bother me too much. I had a chance to stretch before the shower so it was ok.

D001 - 2008-07-27 11:59 AM Hi Nibbs. The TdF is over. I am going to have withdrawal symptoms....

will the Olympics help to fill the void?

I am looking forward to the Olympics, although I hope the coverage is better than last time.

I date my self when I talk about Olympic coverage. I remember when they would show bits of everything, not just the "popular" sports. And enough with the background info on the athlete. Go read an article if you really want to know. I just like seeing the sport.

We'd get to see way more if they stopped all the extended bios and life stories. I'm much more interested in watching all the people that compete.

They should at least show the finals in all the sports. I remember seeing the weight lifting, table tennis and much much more. Now we just see the sports they want us to see and tough luck if you are interested in anything else.

But with no cable, I won't be seeing any of the olympics this year. So, i'll stop complaining.

I'm hoping they broadcast some of the less popular sports on the internet. Otherwise, I don't think we'll ever see the 10k OWS race.

It's another quiet day at the library today. I'm getting lots of books weeded. (That means discarding the books that aren't checking out any longer.) Need to make room on the shelves for the new books.

Yesterday it was so quiet in here, I rearranged my whole office. Yup, moved all that furniture around all by myself. Who needs those facilities guys.

If they're anything like the facilities guys for my building, you're much better off doing it yourself. They take forever.

Another "what do the Nibbs think?" question.

Which bike should go to the beach with me? I don't like the hybrid at all but if I bring it I won't worry about sand and crud in the gears as much since the camping trip is just a few weeks before the oly. I don't think it will damage my training much to ride that heavy beast for a week as opposed to the lighter frame but I really hate that bike. I ould probably have to take the roadie in for a clean up after a week at Assateague with the wind blowing sand into the chain rings. So that would mean doing without it when I get home. I just hate the hybrid is the only reason I don't want to take it. My family will be bringing their hybrids too.

If you hate it that much, you should take the road bike. It doesn't usually take that long or cost too much to get cleaned, so avoiding being frustrated is probably worth it.

What do you do with the old ones?

We send them to a company called Better World Books. They sell the books for us online and we get a percentage back, along with a percentage that goes to library programming. If they are unable to sell the books they then donate them to libraries around the world that are in need of books that service customers in third world countries (usually).

I usually take my hybrid to the beach. That way if I ride in sand I don't worry as much as I do with the expensive road bike. So, i really think of the hybrid as the beach bike. That way I don't dislike it as much.

Possibly. It depends upon the coverage.

P.S. Did you see that a swimmer has been tossed off the US Olympics team for using Clenbuterol? (I remember the name of the anabolic steroid, but not the swimmer. Um.... Jessica Hardy, I think.)

x2.

They show 20 seconds of the sport, followed by 20 minutes of some background thing that I don't care about, followed by 200 minutes of commercials.........

Um, well... I'm sure they won't show the whole thing. Can you imagine the ratings if they showed the whole 10k OWS? (I'd watch. Until I fell asleep, that is.)
