donderdag 11 juli 2013 Oops. I forgot to set the alarm, but it's ok. Fish and chips for breakfast. Listen to Stephanie Miller while tracking the 12th stage of the Tour de France - Fougères / Tours. Riding into the Parc des Expositions de Tours. Sounds exciting. Challenges. Crashes. 16:57 - Argos-Shimano lead the way: but Cavendish in command... There is less than 1km to go in the stage and the sprint has begun. It's Kittel against Cavendish... 16:58 - Kittel ahead of Cavendish! It was a bike throw that won the stage. Kittel has beaten Cavendish by a matter of centimetres. Bonjour, le monstre de Tours. Merci, Xavier Veilhan.

Highlights of Tour de France stage 12. Walk up to Denny. #62 bus to Mercer. Two hours as extra help for the Sea Otters. It's a cool grey day on the playground. The kids seem to enjoy themselves with their Playskool trikes and in the sandbox. I do bubbles. Inside, they settle down for lunchtime without any franticness. Over to Dolphins. Three of them are napping. A couple others are playing. Then Starfish. They're napping. A couple wake up early. They get some books and quiet toys. Pop back over to Dolphins. A few are on a stroller walk. Two are just waking up from naps. A little free play and a little snack. #40 bus to d'town... Not the most efficient way to go. Note to myself: It's better to take the streetcar. Back to my place. My back aches, so I just relax. Wow! KOMO News links to an historic event. Live from the Space Needle! Sub Pop and KEXP present A Silver Jubilee Broadcast, live from the Space Needle, today, July 11, from noon until 5:30PM, celebrating the iconic Seattle 25th anniversary with Mudhoney.

I catch the last song just in time. Amazing. Thank you, Mudhoney. Turkey hot dogs and Mike's Special Fried Rice for dinner. Dig into old Smallville episodes and I find - Recruit and Krypto. Night!
