You’re surely anxious to see the rest of our photos from Stage 14 of the Tour de France, on July 18th. We drove straight from Sundhoffen to Delle, to see the cyclists get ready for the toughest climb of the day. (more…)

Tour de France photos, with descriptions!
Although we did not secure a press pass for this year’s Tour de France, the Bugle sent a crack team of correspondents to Alsace to cover Stage 14 for our readers. Of course, we’re a bit late to report on minor details like the yellow-jersey standings and the action of the stage itself. Doesn’t matter: we specialize in human-interest stories anyhow.
As usual, we’ll direct you to photosets on Flickr, whose photos include amusing and informative descriptions. The following two sets will take you to Sundhoffen, just a kilometer or two after the start of Stage 14 in Colmar.

Kissy Puppy, Happy Games
Monday’s dinnertime can be a bit tedious. It’s been only ten hours since the weekend of shared experiences, so there isn’t much news to report. The whole work-week stretches out ahead, keeping one’s mind on business rather than one’s spouse. This Monday was blessed with the label on a discarded bottle of Coke.
Anita and I sent a significant portion of our “together time” eating dinner and marveling at the Kissy Puppy. When we retreated to each of our designated corners of the apartment, I decided to follow up. (more…)
