This is naughty butt

As promised, a spy photo of the Astana team BMC SLC 01! Check it out all decked out in the Kazakh national colors. Peep the Easton EC90 Aero all carbon rims. Other photos reveal a low profile EC90 wheelset, as well. Are they for climbing? Are they the rumored all carbon clincher wheels? The official Luna Cycles position on this team bike is, as Jeff so eloquently put it: Pimp Nasty!

On to other matters, Luna Cycles is putting together a dodgeball team for the upcoming city dodgeball tournament to help send our own Kevin Wilson to the Police Olympics for cycling. The cost is $15 per person, teams of 10 people will enter. Let us know if you are interested (money talks...). We have a rigorous try out process, but we feel confident that we can field a competitive team from amongst our customer base. Just remember: if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.

Thanks to everyone who has already contacted Chairperson Faye Higgins in regards to the urgently needed recycling drop-off in the Lenoir city limits. If you haven't done so, please take a moment to drop her a line and voice your opinion! If you are feeling especially verbose, or just have an excess of spleen that needs venting, drop a line to the editor of the Lenoir News Topic and let them know how you feel. Remember: grassroots pressure will get the job done every time or else we'll just vote in someone who'll listen next year!

Last, but certainly not least, I have neglected to mention anything about the announcement that Google will be building a server farm here. I've got to say that I am very enthusiastic about the arrival of what I think will be a significant shift in the status quo of Caldwell County. I don't think a lot of people realize the potential that this has for Caldwell County. Although a huge number of incentives have been granted to lure Google here, these incentives have to be viewed as an investment towards legitimizing this area for other tech sector companies in the coming years. Welcome to the Blue Ridge, Google!

I've got a workshop the rest of the week, so no kiddos. Progress is being made on the bathroom, but nothing I want to shout about (just yet).
