Jen's tiny Crank Bros pump: not excellent.
Jen's one pair of socks: excellent. since I managed to leave my thin pair of socks in the states, and my thick pair at my aunt's house in scotland, i'm managing with the one pair of replacement thin socks bought in scotland that are blue and grey and say coolmax on the bottom. i've washed them once (this morning) and they dried on my feet.

Hope you guys are having fun. Have you figured out how to upload pictures yet? I can install some software that will let you do a batch upload. But it will be difficult to tie into your blog if you can't do a little bit of coding.
Hey Kurt,
Where's the SPAM on your list of things you brought?

Hey Kurt,everyone misses you at market. I've been watching the tour. It's pretty competitive without Astana there. Frank Schleck has yellow and brother Andy has white. Have fun. RS
