War of the Worlds

Yes, we attended our nieces wedding some ten days ago but that is not the war I am referring to. On our trip to the wedding we had to pass through this alien environment and every blade was spinning, a rare event. Visible from ten miles away and eleven miles deep these windmills made me dizzy and gave me a headache by the time we got through this Stretch of Indiana.

And I am not making reference to the Tour D’ Fraud”, sorry “France”, that started this weekend either. NBC has extensive Internet coverage that you can pay $30 for. I just want to know how much you get paid for pretending to take a picture and then causing a crash taking out half the field like last year. NBC is ramping up their Olympic coverage showing many of the qualifying events.

I actually enjoy watching bicycle race coverage and it is not just for the crashes like with NASCAR. I saw the mountain bike course for the London Olympics over a year ago. Built for the camera with manufactured features that didn’t come about natural.

The lilies also resemble those monstrous machines from Orson wells “War of the Worlds.” And if you are a regular reader you may know that we have seen the first two hours of the Tom Cruise version maybe five time, but have never seen the end. So when we got back to our hotel after the wedding reception “War of the Worlds” was on TV and we got to see the last two hours. Perhaps a good omen that their marriage will make it to the end. ‘A’ omen, not “The Omen”. Just want to make that clear since we are talking movies and all. It sounds like the happy couple will start a family in the not too distant future. We certainly will never be baby sitting for them but that’s only because they live so far away, ..only.

Wedding cake!

We actually found a tourist attraction in Indiana on our way home, if you can believe that, after we met Elvis’ cousin in Louisville. Fair Oaks farms has good ice cream and extremely over priced cheese priced by the half pound. I guess they have tours during regular hours.

The exercise routine is lacking. I get plenty of exercise in other ways but haven’t ridden much. I will not be in shape for The Alterra Coffee Bean Classic though I will be getting some photos. They say coffee prevents skin cancer. Seems a fit for riding.

Alois has been taking to the skies. Nice photos Alois. Thanks.
