Am I the only one to notice that no one ever says anything good about cats, only criticism. Fleas. Stank face. Clawing furniture. Pissing on valuable possessions. They won't eat normal food. On and on. Many folks love them, but no one ever says anything good about them if they are past the kitten stage, and even then it is only about cute. Totally different with dogs. How do you explain that?

Belly fat...not that I have any. Other people's belly fat. How's that for an answer?

<shudder> I certainly hope not. But there is the possibility of continuing part of the conversation on small (and sometimes not so small) parasites, which can be quite fascinating. I had some pretty interesting photos of roundworms today in one of my lectures. Should I share?

I have yet to experience any other kind. It's something along the lines of, "Is this over with yet?"

At one point last night I had my 9 month old nephew sleeping on my stomach, my pup sleeping with her head on my leg, and the girl cat nuzzling my arm for attention on the other side. Cuteness overload.
Then one of the cats puked on top of our kitchen cabinet and the honeymoon was over.

I rode the potion of that stage from Colmenar to Antequera. Started the day SE of Colmenar, on the west shore of Embalse de Vinuela. The climb out of Villanueva de Conception was killer. Again, a very strong headwind. I had to walk the bike up a short, steep pitch. Think I would have made it without the headwind.
Took this in Sorbas, where they rode through today:

There is also the that person who passed me has a nice bike and that person who passed me has a crappy bike.

Got the CX tires. Rear one fits (barely) on the Lancemobile. Front one rubs with the caliper. 
Tried on the GF's bike. Front one fits. Rear one doesn't.
Guess I could try the touring bike but I am not sure how I feel about trying to race on that tank.

You could get some Kenda Kwick, which are some pretty skinny 30mm tyres. Not so good in the wet grass, but good in dry stuff
