Luna Bars are lighter and sweeter than Clif Bars and the Clif company targets Luna bars towards women but I’ve been eating a lot of them lately and haven’t grown breasts or anything.

Cycling in to work today, with a gentle mist falling and a gale force wind trying to blow me back home, I was party to an abomination the like of which I have not known since the horrible Ladybird Slaughter of ’76. I hang my head in shame, yet feel the need to unburden myself. You see, this morning I committed wormicide.
Hundreds of worms had arranged themselves like discarded g-strings along the bike path, and using the little-known law of cycling physics known as ‘sucking’, my wheels were, shamingly, drawn to almost all of them. In my defence it wasn’t all my fault; many of the bewildered Lumbricidae, driven insane by the seemingly endless tarmac (crawl across, across, not along!) hurled themselves into my path like strands of segmented pasta abandoning a baby’s fork. Yet the guilt, it weighs heavy upon me, and so I must sneak into the office Mother’s Room for a quick lie down. I shall return.
Side note: I salute the author of the following snippet:
It is a commonly held belief that if you chop a worm in half you will end up with two live worms. This is not true. If you chop a worm in half it is possible that one half may recover and heal but you are most likely to end up with two halves of a dead worm.
I’ve avoided posting anything about the Tour de France so far, as I know I can get pretty tedious about it. But it’s a great spectacle, and the last two days have been fine examples of that. In a 9.5 mile time-trial up the side of a mountain Lance Armstrong finished over a minute clear of his nearest competitor, a truly astounding effort. Then yesterday he chased down a rider who even the commentators had called as the winner over the last 200m to claim his third straight stage win. The willpower he displayed in that performance was astonishing; you could almost see him look up at the guy in front and say “You know what? I’m better at this than you”. Or as Chris Carmichael, Armstrong’s trainer, put it:
Because He Can
From our ‘Inappropriate recommendation” department: Looking at a book on training for cycling by Lance Armstrong on Amazon, and the page contains the following text…

* Perfect 7
Intestinal cleanser & laxative. Great prices, selection & service.
So, based on the indication that I’m interested in cycling long distances at high speed, amazon thinks I want a laxative? Very practical.
