tell me again how terrible caroline is...

what are the odds it was left unlocked?

tell me about it

What a team move! 10k from the finish — just blew everyone up…

Sorry for your doggos out there
Ours seem to be fine with what booms we’ve had

Finger will be fine (thx Abe & supermoon) — I’m paying the stupid tax tho walking around with my finger elevated &...

Cut the tip of my finger this morning
Hopefully the chunk reattaches, but it was looking pale so it’s not looking good
Exercise is off the table til i can get the wound sealed up
Incredibly...

“officials believed the gunman had used a rifle and had shot from a rooftop”

Sickening that the gun crowd is OK with this as price of gun rights

When will they understand that:
1) the fantasy...

PDX doesn’t allow fireworks of any kind currently
Not clear that everyone got the memo tho

RIP Duffy

not the driver

look to fed policy of cheap money

While there were some wheel touches today that caused troubles, there seemed to be less anxiety-ridden get-to-the-front goofiness today than last year’s opening stages…maybe just wider roads with...

Clearly broken :)

And yet the total points seem updated accordingly…weird

(& boy, my team is sucking hugely…!)

My 1st yr studio prof: “Everyone does a circular house once…looks like you got yours out of the way!”

correct, it can expand by an incredible amount

i misunderstood the bonus points: they just add to the day's total, not credits for trades (shoot)

firmly in 11th
can only get better, right?

the peloton has all started now

happy that lampaert dragged the time closer to my ambitious-for-rain prediction...gonna need an extra trade slot

How did van aert get ganna as his minute man?

Team EC gambling on points players - I never considered fielding less than 8. Let’s see how it plays out for him, Cotton

Yeah, my TT time prediction is gonna be off
And my sleeper gamble on Kung not gonna pay off
(And having lots of second thoughts on my team…I need to lean in to less gambling and more “favorite”...

Note that you can’t drop a 12pt rider & pick up a 22pt rider. Your team total budget still has to work throughout.
So, that may screw with your trades or if a rider gets hurt…or you gotta do some...

I’m ok either $10/20, but will vote for more participants than payout if we’re voting

oof, good selection isn't going to exist really mid summer:
call the mountain shop or evo & see what they've got

good fitter: greg coulter @ boots & more [might be in HR @ Doug's]

in pdx: evo...

i fail to understand why this is important to you

nothing wrong with "attempted coup"

same level of legal consequences

she's playing moneyball & we're reading a few recent race results

ha, yes

i think the point is: attempted (yet unsuccessful) coup doesn't make it any less a coup [for the purposes of law & of intent]

when do team start lists get finalized?

i've got picks in place, but the rider list is still showing provisional

i see 12 teams -- has everyone filled out their teams?

gotcha

one more I think
[edit]two to go; eight total

respect because it's physical? what makes that more deserving of respect?
completely arbitrary, imo

people deserve respect because they are people & for how they treat other people, not the role...

i was born in 71 so watergate was a historical touchstone before I had any knowledge of it


this is consistent from what i read about it

Have you seen my stapler?
It was right here

good, one last chance to gaslight her on the sleeper strengths of bauke mollema, louis meintjes & richie porte for the gc podium

^^^lol

def start feeding kat5 some bogus data
send her links of "current" race results from 2yrs ago

my sis is a doc at a university health program & they had a monkeypox case to deal with two weeks ago

no undercarriage to worry about?

It’s in your head

re: KD in a blazer uni
