TV time

I don't watch television very often, but I had the chance on the airplane to catch a bit of the Tour de France...and I have to say...oh my god! What the hell are all of those spectators doing? That's insane! It's hard enough to ride up the mountains at the rate that those guys are doing it, but to have some insane person carrying a 7' flag and wearing a pair of antlers on his head running right next to you...that's not a spectator, it's a freaking landmine! Do people practice for the Tour by riding in rush hour midtown traffic? They ought to! Or flying at 40mph through Chinatown at noon. That would work, too.

Anyway, very impressive that no one was felled by all the well-wishers or attention-seekers or whatever the hell they were.
