A massive crash took out a large part of the peloton today at the closing of stage 4 of the Vuelta a España (Tour of Spain).
Only the six lead riders manged to make it without getting caught in the mayhem.
Among those involved in the horrible crash was American rider Chris Horner.
While Horner finished the race he was taken to the hospital for X-rays.

Doesn't Donald Trump know that his punishment for being an offensive, blow bag bully is to be reincarnated as a "loser" loud mouth untalented lesbian?
And doesn't Rosie O'Donnell know that her punishment for being a "loser" loud mouth untalented lesbian is to be reincarnated as an offensive blow bag bully with bad hair and multiple dysfunctional families?
More importantly, shouldn't I know better and completely avoid this stinking pile of dog feud?

People in cars with rude political bumper stickers are the rudest and most inconsiderate drivers?
For instance, the women in the diesel 1987 VW Euro-Van with the stickers that say "Buck Fush", or the chain smoking, trucker hat wearing guy in the rusty 1987 Ford F150 pick-up with the sicker that says "You can pry my gun from my cold dead hands" always drive like complete ,"Fumb Ducks" !

Nature's call, always calls at the furthers point away in my training run or ride from any given bathroom.
And why is it....
That on the rare occasion nature does call near a public bathroom, that bathroom is guaranteed to be devoid of anything resembling paper?

When companies spend millions of dollars advertising their great customer service, their customer service inevitably just sucks.
For instance, recently I went car shopping with my neighbor at the "No Haggle" Saturn dealership for their Halo car the new two seater roadster called the Sky.
On the sticker was a $3500 premium simple called "Sky"
We asked the salesman what extraordinary feature of this new car was worth $3500 dollars, and he explained it was the dealer mark-up for the privileged of selling the customer the car.
So I guess the Saturn "No Haggle" policy mainly applies to cars needlessly marked up $3500 hundred above MSRP. What great customer service to so thanklessly apply such a customer friendly policy to their cars.
Geez, no wonder General Motors is in the shitter!
BTW: My neighbor purchased a Mini Cooper latter that same day.

All new name brand running shoes cost $89.00?
And why is it that irregardless of the fabulous technology the shoe purports to pioneer (like the new super lightweight shock heel, or airflow max microfiber, or Formula 1 inspired stability control, or maximum traction tractor sole, or lightening fast, lighting tight super-advanced shoe string technology) they all feel about the same when I'm running, and they all provide equal chewing entertainment for my dog?

Sales clerks never, ever, ever, and never, understand that a customer standing one foot in front of them is more important than some bored weasel on the phone?
Bored Phone Weasel: "So you are telling me that if I take a right at main street and a left on Central your location is just across the street from the Good Times, but what if I'm coming from the moon? How do I find your store and what's the cheapest thing you sell, or do you give stuff away for free with my 2fer coupon?"
Me at the sales counter: "I just want to buy this new 42 inch flat screen television. Won't you please take my cc card."
Blank Eyed Clerk talking on the phone: "The moon...that's a great question, let me ask the rest of the sales team for better directions."
