Shoes, Ships, and Sealing Wax

Talk about a cool summer job

If I had time, I'd spend the entire Tour watching OLN or reading Tour-related blogs and web sites. One page I'm enjoying this year is the blog of young Alex Trautwig, who is in France taking pictures while his dad anchors the OLN broadcasts.

And I thought I was lucky getting to tag along with my dad to hockey games.

Oh, and I was curious about that protest that changed the starting point of today's stage...French farmers protesting wolves? Ok, protests aren't unusual...if I recall correctly, truck drivers interupted the race within the last couple of years to protest gas prices. That I could understand. What's the beef with the wolves?

Well, if you're curious too: Wolf Wars in France
