Smoke ‘em

The Cobra struck in the mountains today and promptly congratulated himself.  Confidence is not something Brother Ricco lack, then again if I was winning Tour stages when I was 23 I would be pretty full of myself too I guess.  Brother Voeckler had another nice go off the front, guess he is liking the way he looks in polka dots.  Also another good showing by the Garmin/Chipotle men, I really thought Brother Vandevelde was gonna get the V.  The way those guys are riding it is only a matter of time before a “Burrito Boy” is on the top of the podium.  My heart goes out to Brother Schumacher. That is an awful way to lose Yellow.  Keep fighting Brother!

As I write this I am sitting in an Econo Lodge in Reno on my way to Downieville.  With the temperature, smoke and acrid smell from the massive wildfires in California I keep expecting to see the devil himself at any moment.  The street address of our home for the night?  666 N. Wells Ave. Beelzebub you rascal!
