Finding a Path to Success in the Second Tier of the Tour de France
Bretagne-Séché Environnement, a cycling team from the Brittany region of France, has a slim budget, and it is a victory for the team merely to be participating in the Tour de France.Bicycle racing is not interesting to me. Bicycles remain an interest.
Fashion is far too dominant.

Work More? Well, No
A reader writes that “working more at substandard wages is not a recipe for a healthy economy.”We can get the better distribution by regulation and unionization.
We will need both.

House Hunting in New Brunswick, Canada
Home prices in the area grew by 3 to 27 percent year over year from 2003 until 2009, and have been flat since, making it a buyer’s market.I found Canada very foreign.
It feels like it should be home but is not.
The places I thought were home are feeling strange.
I think it is my age.

$1.2 Million Homes in California, Massachusetts, and Louisiana
This week’s properties include a ten bedroom house in Massachusetts, mountain views in California and an Acadian house in Louisiana.Let us begin to talk about houses. I do not want a palace.
A master suite, a guest suite, and a half bath along with the kitchen are enough plumbing. A library sitting room and a formal dining room are enough public area.
The kitchen serves well as family space.
The studio and shops are separate to divide work life from other life
Our project will be to bring it all in under budget.

The colorful mix of heirlooms is bulked up with red or pink beans. Feta, mint and celery round out the salad, which is spooned on toasted bread.http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1017554-tomato-salad-with-red-beans
I am cooking for one.
By the time I have made a salad I am suffering from apatite.
I stuff and suffer.
