I can't use a slingbox, though, because even after your explanation, I don't know what it or Wikipedia (sp?) is, or was. I don't work, so I will just watch the Tour de (Plasma re-injection after EPO, HGH, and Belgian cocktail injections AND masking) France with the same dull wit and cynical attitude, like always. I kinda hate France, except for wine, and the Tour, so it's a tough, mind-wrenching ethical breakdown to spend this time in this way. I will be thinking of Al M. as well as the FC blog. I think I will (actually go out and!!!) ride my bike after the broadcast/stream is over on the tour race days. Respectfully, #4529, Operacion Puerta I am going to watch the tour also.
