LANCE DOES IT AGAIN!!!
(courtesy of internetbumperstickers.com)
Yesterday, Lance Armstrong won his SEVENTH Tour de France in a row!!! Winning seven TdF itself over a number of years would be a feat, winning them in a row is an even BIGGER feat, but winning them AFTER battling cancer?!?!? Kinda makes your life feel somewhat meaningless, doesnt it?

Harry Potter, etc.
I finally got my copy of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince this week. It was supposed to have arrived Saturday, but didn't get here 'til Tuesday. I read 1/4 on Tuesday, 1/4 on Wednesday. I didn't read any last night...poker night down at the local bar., finished it about a half-hour ago. Favorite quote from the book was from Dumbledore, when asked if was feeling alright after he was in the bathroom so long ... "No, I was merely reading Muggle magazines", said Dumbledore. "I do love knitting patterns".
In other news, Mike Harris came in to town on his way to a field trip in the Yukon. I think it's the first time I've ever seen him without any beard...he looks really weird...like guys always do when they all-of-a-sudden show up without facial hair.
On the gardening front, we've been harvesting more cucumbers that were even BIGGER than the ones in the last entry. We got our first green peppers, and cherry tomatos are only a couple of days away. Yum!!!
Bandit goes in for her mid-summer shave tomorrow. Maria has been looking for a new car, and I'm going to go test driving with her while Bandit is getting groomed.
That's it for now....TTFN

Garden pics
Is it just me, or this more than a little phallic?
Green peppers...or are these the red peppers? Don't know... Greg tossed the tags.
Gigantic cucumbers
Cherry tomatos
The clematis is STILL blooming!
Black-eyed Susans
Technicolor marigolds
In other news...we finally decided to check out the poker tournaments at the friendly neighborhood dive bar. The weekly Thursday tourneys are $5 to enter, winner-takes-all. I took it all...hehehe. I knocked out EVERYone at the final table all by myself. Can't wait 'til this Thursday!
They also have a monthly tournament, a weekly league that has a nine-week cycle, and a heads-up tourney in August... woohoo!!!
Greg took Bandit down to the lake while we were visiting his parents' cottage over the Canada Day weekend. Bandit came back a big giant mudball, but she had a blast, so I guess it was worth it.
