Good to know other suffer the same affliction. When there's not much
actin in the race I start looking at the sides of the road and pretty
soon I have no idea what's going on the race. There are some really
cool vans over there in Europe and whenever I'm over there I always
find myself slowing down or stopping to look at them pretty much
everywhere I go.
