of note for today

Derek's website has been on my list of random surfs for a while now. I don't know him, but he posts great pictures all the time. He and his wife (who also posts great stuff) were in Paris for the honeymoon and just happened to catch the end of the Tour de France. This picture of Lance Armstrong flying down the Champs-Elysses is simply amazing. Look at the muscles in his legs -- I don't know whether to admire them or be slightly scared!

Greg Maddux got his 300th win this afternoon. Awesome.

Adam Everett was hit on the wrist by a pitch last night in the Astros game. The impact fractured his ulna bone, and he's out for 4-6 weeks. Yet more bad news for the Astros.
