Day of Plenty

Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed.

I have no idea what I'll feel like later today, but odds are that it will include numb and blind. The United States Grand Prix is this weekend (held at that most hated of tracks, Indianapolis Motor Speedway), which means the American TV coverage will be extensive. The Speed TV people, a proud subsidiary of Fox, who normally only show one hour of practice, qualifying, and the race itself, are inflating their coverage quite a bit. They want to make the USGP a wildly successful event, gain tons of American support, and promise something on the order of eleven hours of coverage, some of which has already occurred.

So, I have that to look forward to today, but that's not all.

Also, of course, there are two quarter-final matches for the World Cup.

And, the start of the Tour de France.

My poor TV.
