In France

This is me in France on a mountain road called the Col du Platzerwasel. My jaunty hat was ruined the next day while I waited for hours in the rain to see a bunch of guys ride by on bikes for about 15 or 20 minutes.


The gentleman in the center is Alberto Contador from Spain and the gentleman on the left with no head is Lance Armstrong from Texas.
I cannot tell who these guys are while I am photographing them.

Did you limit your artistic talent to photographing, or did you do some painting as well?

That Tour de France be one of the most white people sports I ever seen. There ain't a brother or a sister for miles in view of that race. I mean, to each his own, but who the hell wanna stand at the side of the road waiting for a bicycle to go by! At least they could have some music to listen to or some snacks to nibble on while you waiting or somethin.

Rondell, have you ever eaten a snack in France? The French are the kings of the snack. And there were at least 50 black people at the tour de france. Most of them were kids with white parents.

I am enjoying Ten Speed Hero very much, but I guess I could have left this comment on that site. It's too pristine for me to muck up with a comment.

Mmmhmm, I see. You gotta have a white mama or papa to get into that race? Them chilren would rather be at the Lakers game with a corndog that standing the street eatin crumpets and shit.
