Seriously, what the hell? Time trial win! Then yesterday, wiped out. Then I turned on the TV this morning, and win!
Also, if the GC guys don't get their asses in shape, Rassmussen is going to win this thing.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Believe me, I'm down with your Also. Skeletor must not conquer Castle Grayskull! He's the Overlord of Evil! C'mon, boys!
On the plus side, liking Contador a whole lot, in spite of my known bias against the mountain men. And the Colombian newb has been a hoot, even if he makes Skeletor look chunky.
Contador and Soler are both adorable. They're like puppies. Mountain-climbing puppies.
Exactly! Puppies!
I have been thinking about trying to build a bookcase with bricks/boards as that seems a) cheap and b) sort of neat, but I am not sure how sturdy it would be.
I've done that, and they were quite sturdy. Cinderblocks can be good too.
My experience with bricks/boards is that they're far sturdier than anything else I've had. And the fact that you build them in place takes care of the transportation problem, although getting the materials upstairs will be heavy -- you may want to get a friend over for the day just to share the load of schlepping things around.
I am glad to hear that you have had good experiences with the bricks and boards-- I think I will try it. I can probably get my friend's brother to help me schlep, if he is in the area schlepping for her. Although, as a single person I have in the past been amazed at the stuff I can carry up my stairs. Once I brought a six drawer dresser up the stairs all by myself!
Once upon a time, I thought about going the brick/board route using those glass blocks.
Never got around to doing that, but were I to now, I think I'd still use glass blocks.
We have about 8 of these, which we have bought of the last few years. [link]
They are great because they fold up to move. They are also incredibly flexible. You can put them on top of each other for tall shelves, or side by side. They also look like nice furniture, which is a bonus.
Those are nice Robin... they look like they are easy to move AND like they are real wood!
