Thank goodness for TiVo. What would I have done if not for the digital video recorder?! We were in Upstate New York July 16-24 for our summer vacation, in a cottage by Cayuga Lake and there was no cable or TV in the cottage. Conventional VCR just could not record all the daily stages that I was going to miss. I am so glad (and relieved) that TiVo worked (as there were some inexplicable TiVo machine problems days prior to our departure), because now I get to enjoy George Hincapie's victory on Pla d'Adet, the queen's stage, the hardest mountain stage in this year's Tour. Just awesome...and so deserving for George, having been Lance Armstrong's most faithful lieutenant all these years. Rebecca especially liked the part where the TV motorcycle ran over that idiotic fan who had stopped in the middle of a mountain passage. When the driver recovered his balance, the cameraman hopped back on and smacked hard on the spectator's head as the motorcycle took off to rejoin the race. Whap! It was most satisfying...
