Tour of Missouri

I have returned! My brother in law Darby and I spent the last two days chasing a bike race, eating ribs, burning things and investigating the various nuances of beer in rural America. I met a few cyclists, including the current Tour de France champ and nearly ran over two turtles.

My photos are here.

My story will be told when I get a chance. I'm a course marshal at tomorrow's stage and might, but probably won't, go down to the downtown finale on Sunday. I'm tired, man.

    Gary,

    I think we should have taken some pictures of your fire building skills...but that would mean that I would have to put down my beer, cigar and flip flop (used to open the beer) in order to take a picture of you building a signal flame to be seen from outer space.

    I noticed that my ability to build fires got better with the number of beers I drank. One beer and I smothered the fire. More and I nearly lit the countryside on fire.

    We should have taken a picture of the spider the size of a crab that almost attacked me in the darkness.
