le Tour.

To my fan out there in internet land, this blog MAY slow down a little in the next few weeks due to the fact that in a little over 24 hours, a few blokes will race push bikes around France. One of the few disadvantages of living at GPS coordinates -34.9,150.7 is that the Tour de France is on late at night here. Usually starting transmission at 10PM and winding up at about 2am. Sadly, this coincides with the times I do most of my posting to the blog. So, if you find things a little slow, why not have a look at the Tour. Even better, check out the fantastic photos at The Boston Globes site, The Big Picture. One set here, and another here.
