Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Is it just me, or is the 41 heading into a bit of a trough, attitude-wise?

It's been a tricky couple weeks for football presenters, having to say "The Washington Football Team," and "Las Vegas Raiders."

I hadn't noticed this until now. So in a short time the Raiders go from playing on dirt to playing on a god-knows-how-expensive moveable field. Why?

Apparently they imported the turf from Arizona. Why are they exporting lawns from the middle of the desert?

wut is happening?

An interesting adventure. I'm minding my own business and I get a message with a code for two part verification for my Mexican debit card. And a few minutes later another one. The local bank is open until 9 six nights a week. So I drove up there. All was copacetic, but I got a new card anyway. I paid for my new license plates with that card this morning. I had tried with my US credit card last week and it didn't go. I guess I'll have to get a local credit card. I use that card for a lot of online purchases. No more.

How involved is this beyond writing a check? If I woke up tomorrow with several million to burn, could I start a NASCAR team?

you probably need 25 million @LAJ probably has a better estimate. That's for one car. 50 million for two. Sponsorships offset the cost.

Ask Joe Gibbs. Dan Marino. Brad Daugherty. Burt Reynolds....

If you want to become a billionaire in NASCAR, start with 2 billion.
