Grass

Here's another one of the crops growing at the University experiment station. The wheat is rapidly nearing maturity.It is pretty clearly a grass but this grass is also pretty clearly planted in a row.

The third stage of the Tour de France finishes in Nantes. I signed up for something at MapMyRoute at some point and they now SPAM me. The most recent e-mail offered a link to a place where the individual stages of le Tour are mapped out in excruciating detail, road by road, street by street. I examined the Nantes finish and this photo is taken from directly in front of the finish:That's the new Palais de Justice in the background (that's French for Courthouse). Standing on the bridge are TOPWLH and our beloved guide. The beloved guide is currently on the road. If anyone spots her please let us know.

Nice grass. Someone spotted her at a Micky D's near Madison yesterday evening. Everything was going fine at that point. SS

She has arrived, has had lunch, and is reading a book on the super tumor reading couch. It is good to have her here. SS

And the super tumor reading couch is not disappointing in the least... Ah, Michigan. :)
