All the talk of biking (and the Frazz cartoon yesterday) had me feeling ashamed that my total bike mileage for July was somewhat less than 1/10th of what the riders did in their quick loop around France. I think I actually had more miles in my sneakers than I did in the saddle. Which is pretty sad.

In any case, I hit the trail yesterday afternoon. And ran into many of these.

I swear, God is going to strike me dead today.

I was looking for something light-hearted to balance all the heavy stuff I have posted today. (Man, that Phelps family is messed up.) Instead, I found this page where Larry Flynt is calling for a national prayer day that seems indirectly related to an earlier post I made.

Today is apparently the day for me to collect links about the fringes of political and social viewpoints.

I’m trying not to form an opinion on the Kobe Bryant thing, but I’ll admit that my first gut reaction was “Why the hell would she go up to his room?”

What actually does it take to get on the ballot? Should I register when I’m on the left coast this weekend?
