Summer Rain

We finally had some rain. The plants have been drying out and the sprinklers in the neighborhood have been keeping the sidewalks wet. Today, at last we had some rain. But part of the day was nice enough to have a walk around the grounds at Como. The cat tails along the lake have sprouted pretty high. They are part of the shoreline restoration that has been going on for the last couple of years. I must say that I like the effect it's having.



A big day in the mountains again tomorrow in France. It looked bad for Lance Armstrong for a while until he decided to get back into the climb today. There was a pretty bad accident when Jens Voigt went down and out of the race on a big downhill. He's going to be ok they are saying. Contador is looking like a likely winner of the race, but there are a few good days of racing left.

Tennis again tomorrow for me.

It felt like old times -- watching Lance ride away from the group he was in and motor on up to the group with the yellow jersey. Keeping it interesting.

Nice photo of Como.

I dunno, despite what the Versus shills were reporting, it looked to me like the "heads of state" were not "on the rivet". I thought they waited for him.
