Take my advice and don't make any plans to go out and watch a bike race. The Tour de Georgia (isn't that a funny name?) made its way past our high school yesterday and all the students came out to line the roads and watch for Lance Armstrong. Only problem is, the bikers come by in a mob. It reminded me of a swarm of bees. They were that close together and moving about 45 miles an hour. Even though there were 100 or more bikers, it took only about 5 seconds for them all to pass a given point. We knew that Lance was number "1" and that he was wearing a blue and silver jersey and I didn't talk to a single student who thought they had seen him in the swarm as they came by. He certainly was not at the front. For this event we had roads closed for miles around. It was strictly a media event. As a spectator sport, nothing.

Oh well.
