Spicy Tour de France

It looks like the teams invited to the 2008 Tour de France have been announced. The good news is that Slipstream-Chipotle and High Road are in, but Astana is out. Which means no Alberto Contador or Levi Leipheimer (last year's 1st and 3rd place from team Discovery). Bummer.
Oh yeah, Lisa should be happy too, cause Quick Step is in as well.
I think I'll be rooting for Slipstream-Chipotle this year. It is a difficult name to say, but not as embarrassing as "Liquigas".
Screwed or Nailed
This past weekend I was repairing some drywall in my closet. For some reason I bought a box of nails with the idea that I would secure the new drywall with the nails, even though I had a perfectly good box of drywall screws at home. Anyways, I start putting up the new drywall with the screws until something possessed me to use a nail instead. Then it hit me; nails suck. I don't know why it took me so long to realized that, it seemed so obvious once I thought about it, but I don't remember ever thinking about it before.

The only benefit I can see to using nails it that you can nail stuff during a blackout... after you cordless drill's battery has died.
