    It is another day of the same sweaty sticky mess. When I was sitting here trying to get some statistics, temperature-wise, I encountered a pretty large discrepancy between the weather channel.com and accuweather. They are like 10 degrees different from each other. It’s like, I want to trust the weather channel, because “channel” denotes TV…

    It was so fun having Piper back here this weekend. It looks like she may even be here a little longer, depending on how things play out with insurance authorization today. One thing that Reagan and I have discovered in the past couple of days, is that we were a bit hasty to talk about…

    This view of Pedrosa’s back tire is about all that the other riders saw on Sunday. Dani started on pole and got out to an early lead that only increased as the race went on. Stoner was in second position early, but ran wide on turn 4, twice, allowing Pedrosa to build a comfortable margin.…

    .Apparently summer decided to show up yesterday. It was bloody hot outside, and today is just as hot, if not hotter. Unfortunately Reagan had to work yesterday, so she totally missed out on the sunshine. I, on the other hand, was able to take full advantage. I started off by getting Bebe washed. Thank goodness…

    Another nasty crash for Lorenzo will make him unable to compete in Sunday’s race. Lorenzo needed to finish strong this weekend to continue to be a threat to Pedrosa in the GP Championship points, especially after crashing out of the race last week in Mugello. He is currently 3rd in the standings, but he could…

    The Senate finally published a finding that Bush overstated the “supporting intelligence” that was used to build his case to topple Iraq. Well, I guess that it is finally official. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/06/world/middleeast/06intel.html?hp

    Piper is doing fine. We had a good visit with her yesterday afternoon. The main reason that she was moved to Columbia was so that she could be examined by a bone dr. to see if she is a candidate for a certain type of surgery that may help her breathe easier. They are going…
