Rumor spiralling out of control is that Pacific Bicycles (the same folks who were at the helm of the seriously diabolical scooter faze and owners of GT, Schwinn and mongoose) is going to buy Cannondale and move their production offshore. Why do I care since I don't ride a Cannondale? Cannondale is one of the last high end bike builders making their stuff here in the USA...It would be sad to see them die in the same way that Schwinn died off as they started to make some really decent USA made (yeti built) bikes. Oh well... and it seems the rumor I had posted about Leipheimer/Trek is only a small step away from being true as VeloNews.com had an article about it this AM.
"ain't she a pretty little thing ":
Met LD's new lady that he has said such nice things about for so long and all I can say is "ain't she a pretty little thing." She is a sweetheart: looking the part and being the part. She also chews gum, which there is so something sweet about a gum chewer. Most people, myself include find me repulsive when I chew gum, but for girls it is a nice accessory. Anyway, she seems to fit LD just right and he seems happy to be in her radiance.
Early to bed:
I am pretty sure it has been the stress, lack of quality sleep, a bit of melancholy of late and some enui of life but last night I was so tired I basically was asleep by 8PM. I was thoroughly wrecked. I had painted a little before bed some new designs of trees and did a small version of an idea about dreams. If I do the big one and it comes out right I am going to submit it to dirtrag in the hopes of getting it used on their font cover. I wanted to stay up longer but my head hurt I was so tired. Woke this AM a little fresher than I have felt in some time...Sleep is so underrated sometimes.
