I had a wonderfully 80s day today. I listened to INXS, Duran Duran, and bought The Very Best of the Human League on iTunes... yum!

another thing that was yum was a watermelon pop that i made! nothing better than frozen watermelon on a stick. shaped like a rocket, even!

I had the day off, and as always, had very good intentions of being productive...

McEwen wins! smile That was interesting...Thor fighting til the end and will be in yellow again. I didnt see the hand thing this morning, and you know, I wasnt watching for them at the end but i think they were suppose to ban them in the final 2km. I still wonder about whether it was actually the green hand yesterday?? I could clearly see Thor was hit BEFORE the green hand in the picture...well, whatever..it could have been anything at those speeds.
Too bad for the T-Mobile rider today...Kessler. It looked like he had enough but its hard to outrun a train!

Floyd: Yeah, he is still only 21 sec back overall, one second behind Popovych. We will see in the mountains how strong Floyds team is...Valverde is also one to watch, but he has to make the entire race this year. Keep in mind, Lance was well protected and invisible in the first week. A long way to go still. However, I think Floyd may have been involved in a small crash today near the end? He's ok but that can rattle the nerves, which is what getting past the first week means, when things settle down after that...and riders drop like fliesbiggrin
George is riding awesome this year...gaining confidence daily...attacking or staying just behind the sprinters.
Zabriskie is getting a bit of press even though he isnt that good of a rider overall. He wont finish any closer than 30 minutes down in the end...and just because he is such a good TT rider people are talking about him being a GC guy. He's a nice guy, but a good helper.

You know....Boonen has been so good...it was kind of funny that he didnt have any team member today to help him win and then gave up. McEwen was BOXED behind Boonen and came to grab 2nd. Goes to show, never give up. Did you watch last year? McEwen was robbed of a stage victory...then came back the next day and won again.....pointing to the judges or crowd or somewhere...pointing to his jersey. THAT was awesome!

This IS pretty cool to have someone else to share the tour with.

Cannot wait for the 3rd week mountains....only 5 official stages this year but they are some INTENSE stages.

I dont know about Thor...no news yet. I would say, yes, he'll be alright...but did you see when they played back the replay multiple times? He hit something hard and RIGHT AFTER he had enough blood on his arm from a deep wound. Anyway, pretty scary. Sprints are crazy enough, but there's always the fear that a crazy person would do something to a cyclist.
Cant wait until stage 2.biggrin

so, today was my day off. i had planned on running some errands and starting to pack up small things in my apartment, but none of that happened. well, one errand i did run - to pick up a prescription. and i took my dog to the vet. it's sad that the medicine/treatment was half as much as i got charged just for the doctor...
