OH my GOD, I love eBay!

I thought that this was interesting. Maybe someone will do a China Map one day soon where all the provinces match up to a country. I bet Taiwan will be matched to the U.S.

1. California, it is often said, would be the world’s sixth- or seventh-largest economy if it was a separate country. Actually, that would be the eighth, according to this map, as France (with a GDP of $2,15 trillion) is #8 on the aforementioned list.
2. Texas’ economy is significantly smaller, exactly half of California’s, as its GDP compares to that of Canada (#10, $1,08 trillion).
3. Florida also does well, with its GDP comparable to Asian tiger South Korea’s (#13 at $786 billion).

I spend a lot of time on eBay. I sell a lot of stuff, I buy a lot of stuff. Sometimes I cruise the Community boards to check out what people are talking about. This thread is awesome.

The opening question: When is the fourth celebrated this year?

Classic!!

For all you online coaches out there ask yourself this question:

How can somebody ‘coach’ a rider to win race, when the ‘coach’ has never won a race them self? -Gordon McCauley 2006

P.S. Don't question an angry Kiwi

Oh how I covet this Trek!

Too bad they only give them out to the really good racer guys.

And who wouldn't want to see 5 slags all dressed up in these outfits?
I am first in line for this reunion tour!! Yeah buddy!

Pig (or Boar Chinese Zodiac Symbol)

Born in 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, - 1971 -, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019

You are a splendid companion, an intellectual with a very strong need to set difficult goals and carry them out. You are sincere, tolerant, and honest but by expecting the same from others, you are incredibly naive. Your quest for material goods could be your downfall. The Pig would be best in the arts as an entertainer, or possible a lawyer.

Read this on a website about tattoos and their meanings. Funny, and true enough to feel painful.
Even more of a coincidence- my family's crest is a boar's head with the saying "Be Traist" which translates to 'be faithful' or 'be truthful' depending. Funny.

I finally got to race my bike this weekend at Pescadero. Instead of being captive by either bad legs or so called "team tactics" (which usually means a group of slightly slower guys puttering around the course jumping on all levels of attacks, sitting on and squeaking something about having a guy up the road (yeah, wouldn't you have better odds if you were in the break too? Oh wait don't you have 8 guys in the race and only one in the break of 8?)). Though, now that I think about it, it could've been my 15lb bike and not my legs that got me through the day.
Anyway- it was fun. I got to stretch out my legs on the climbs, which felt a lot better than the last month or so, and got to inflict the other fools with the same 'tactics' that I've endured all year. Sucks doesn't it? Do you realize that it's not really racing yet? NO - of course you don't.
Dylan won, but then didn't win when some guy pulled out his slide rule and measured the distance over the yellow line that Dylan had been forced to go in the sprint. Oh well, at least we all know who really won the race, but it would have been nicer if the ones and zeros added up the right result.
Blanco and I hit Arcangelli's over in town, grabbed a sandwich and as much bread as we could carry and headed back over the hill.
