Ha. Someone just let an f-bomb drop in the Tour de France coverage.

My folks live in Beaufort -- or I guess I should say in the surrounding area. Pretty place,not where I want to live

It is a gorgeous town, but boy howdy, was I being eaten alive by the bugs there! We ate dinner outside on the riverwalk, and the waitress brought out some Off to spray around the table and on us because the mosquitoes were so nasty. And it was only the first week of April--I hate to think what they're like right now! I only took those few pics of Beaufort the next morning because I had to retreat to the car to get away from them.

I'll add the way she said, "Bushed!" on last night's show.

I think that was because she'd been trying to imitate KO's deep drawl of the word in the past and could never match it, so she decided to go the opposite for effect.

Hi-larious -- who was it? I always get the feeling that they're barely controlling their normal profane ways on the air.

(Also, is today the first TT? I've barely been keeping up so far.)

Someone in David Millar's team car. I think he's on Garmin-Chipotle? They certainly sounded American.

Yep. They didn't start with a time trial this year.

Huh, I didn't even notice. (Well, they're not actually used to being on tv are they? It's not like they're the regular commentators or something.)

Women and Canadians.

Hah! Exactly. It drives me crazy even when I know it's just the Canadian accent. I strive to be more tolerant of it.

I know I was only out one real business day but I feel so out of it and behind on everything. In a fog. I think turning off my alarm by mistake this morning and then being woken from very deep sleep at 8 only because i'd happened to set an alarm on my phone for something else and happened to have my phone bedside has thrown me off-kilter.

If only for the fact that the way they pronounce Beaufort would drive me crazy.

As explained by our waitress, there is a Bow-fort in another state, but the SC town is always Byoo-ferd.

Oh, and if you head down that way, I'd recommend going to Walterboro, about an hour north of Beaufort, and stopping at the South Carolina Artisans Center. Bring money with you, because you aren't going to leave the building without buying something there. I told my mom as we were walking in that my limit was $75, and the item I ended up loving the most was, of course, $175. Oh, well, I took home two much more affordable pieces of pottery and a pretty wooden Xmas ornament.

Umm, how is it supposed to be pronounced in American? (Possibly wrong grammar, but I'm having a hard day at work).

Because when one talks about Beaufort here, 1. they'll speak about the post in Lebanon, 2. will pronounce it "Bufor" (Boo-for).

Hi, Shir!

"Beau" is usually pronouced "boh" and "fort" usually has the "t" at the end very definitely. But, the South Carolinians prounce their town of Beaufort as "Byoo-ferd," not "boh-fort" like another state pronounces their town of Beaufort.
