Stage 1 + Walmart Shenanigans + Lamb Steaks

Yes, the Prolog is over...that was yesterday, CANCELLARA F. leads in the yellow shirt as expected.  They started about 12:30 and are now 121.7 km from the finish...all just riding along like it was a fun Sunday ride.  The Peloton is 3:19 from the leader at this moment.  More to come.  Nice weather though, no rain or wind.

Walmart: I found a site chock full of bad stories and illustrative stories of how it really operates, these reports by employees, ex-employees, managers et al.  It's a good laugh and cry depending on your point of view.  Here's the link:  Walmart at 50   <----- click there!

Tonight we have two fine lamb shank steaks, pan fried 3 minutes to a side.  They are marinating in Port wine, thyme and soy sauce currently and getting to room temp before cooking.  Those with Potatoes Anna, thinly sliced potatoes layered with butter and baked til nicely browned in a 350 degree oven.  Cold beets with Blue Cheese brings up the rear.  Shoulkd be a nice meal to celebrate our successful renting of 402!  Yes, it is a done deal!  The new residents take over on the 15th of July. 

Back to the race...115 km to go and the leader is now 2:36 min ahead of the Peloton.  Oh the strategy starts. 
Bye for now.
