Memorial Day = Summer

So of course the weather sucks.




But I still managed to get a good ride in. I went to the East Bay (where it promised to be warmer) and rode Diablo a couple times.

Cervelo blew it today in the Giro. They gave up an almost sure stage win, reportedly because Sastre wanted help to bring back and irrelevant break by Basso. This has the feel of something that is more than it seems. Maybe something will happen tomorrow to explain it better. Menchov is looking very strong, but the next two stages are going to be very telling. I'm guessing the standings on Thursday will look a bit different than they do today.

Colin Powell is trying to make sense. Fortunately he's already allowed his reputation to be damaged enough to be much of an influence. And he's black, so most of the people he's talking to, i.e. Repub's, won't listen to him anyway.

Benjamin Button is a very sad movie. It stops just short of the "Eternal Sunshine" problem- being too sad to be enjoyable. It does come close though. David Fincher is awesome... I need to watch Fight Club again.
