$8.25 beer + free sunshine

$8.25 beer + free sunshine

My week has been surreal, to say the least. And very stressful. For many reasons. But yesterday I got to spend a beautiful afternoon outside enjoying a Giants game. This is pretty unusual. It's usually overcast and bleak here this time of year. Our Fourth of July fireworks shows are typically cut off halfway -- meaning we only see the bottom half of the pyrotechnics -- if not obscured completely by a blanket of fog.

To top off my weird week, Dave woke me up this morning to tell me the news about the Tour. I just can't believe that Basso and Ullrich are out. Please, Ivan, say it's not true. (Things aren't looking good for either of them.)

I hope this sorta-extended weekend will bring happy rides and (crossing my fingers, but not holding my breath) more sunshine so I'm inspired to post more and bump this cruddy camera-phone photo off the top of the page.
