36 are you kidding me....

It would be nice to be a 36 year old billionaire. I got another year, think I can make it. That is a lot of gas in an hour.

clipped from www.azcentral.com Motor Yacht A, its official name, is actually a private yacht built for Andrey Melnichenko, the 36-year-old Russian billionaire industrialist. While Mr. Melnichenko has done his best to keep the boat a secret, A is already making waves in the yachting world and becoming a public symbol of Russian wealth gone wild. While longer than a football field, A barely ranks among the 10 largest private yachts in the world, trailing just behind Octopus, the 416-footer owned by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. The cost - at least $300 million - is also not a record. Eclipse, the unfinished yacht of fellow Russian Roman Abramovich, is more than 500 feet long and cost at least $100 million more. Mr. Melnichenko's boat, at cruising speed, burns about 691 gallons of diesel fuel per hour.

Skunk Boy

Today we were out on a 40 mile training ride. I should have known it was going to be bad. Max and I were both not feeling well, the wind was like 40mph in our face. As we headed down into the abyss(Usery at 5:30am is very dark)we came across this freakin skunk. I stop short, Max swerved out to the left but it was too late, Pepe was under the front wheel, then the back. As soon as it began it was over.

We continued our little journey, we were laughing and joking about Pepe, I said to Max "man, your lucky you did not get sprayed". Max decided to grab a drink, "Dang my water bottle stinks". Yup, He did get sprayed, and yup he did stink. As soon as he said that I was behind him and could seriously smell the stench. Max is a dedicated, we had 20 or so miles left in our ride and he finished it out. Way to go skunk boy!
