I was nearing the end of the ride and already had a picture when I came upon this giant Holstein near Lake Como. You don't see cows this big all that often.The other interesting bit concerns the wheelie king from last week. I rode past his house today and he was just turning off the car after getting home. I was wrong when I described him as not old enough to drive. Today he was driving. He is still the wheelie king though.
FC Nantes returned to Ligue 2 action with yet another Monday night game, this time against Sedan. The rest of the league games last Friday had once again had the effect of moving Nantes out of the top spot in the table, this time to fourth. The most significant of the Friday games was Le Havre winning 3-2 at Dijon. Le Havre was second and Dijon third entering that game.
In front of a middling crowd of just over 18,000 tonight in Nantes the Canaries scored early on what the commentators described as their first serious entry into Sedan territory. Attacker Mamadou Bagayoko created the chance and was fouled in the area giving Nantes a penalty kick. Thomas Dossevi converted the penalty for a 1-0 lead in the 5th minute. Sedan equalized in the 18th minute when Nantes returned the favor with a foul in the penalty area. Apparently everyone in the stadium conceded it was a foul except the linesman who raised his flag indicating offside. The referee conferred with the fourth official and overruled the linesman, instead pointing to the spot. The score at the half was 1-1. Harlington Shereni put Nantes back on top in the 55th minute. What commentators called a beautiful collective effort was initiated on the left by Mamadou Bagayoko. The pass was first to team captain Frederic Da Rocha and then to Shereni who produced the winning goal. Shereni has newly been named Ligue 2 player of the month for August.
Nantes returns to the top of the table. The Canaries are next in action next Monday against FC Libourne-Saint-Seurin at its 8,000 seat ground in Libourne. Libourne is currently 19th in the table.

That's not only a very large cow, but it is also a mobile cow, on its own trailer and ready to travel. I haven't seen any cow statues in my part of town yet. I'll have to put on a search. TT
I may need to find another barn. I notice that the awnings on the house behind the cow sort of match the cow -- black and white stripes. Santini
