NOAA rocks

Have you ever wondered what bearing the sun will rise at? Of course you haven't, but in case you are planning a backpacking trip to the Sierras and was wondering through which pass the sunlight will first peak through onto your camp from, then check this NOAA calculator out. Coolest website ever. Just enter your lat/long, and fool around with the time of day (or use this other site to find the sunrise/sunset time) and boom, it'll output the azimuth of the sun, and the elevation so you can check that it's *just* rising/setting.

I'm off to the Sierras this weekend- Mineral King (Southern Sequoia NP) for some snow camping, and hopefully some good picture taking and capturing that feeling of being tiny and inconsequential. Looking at large valleys gouged by glaciers has that effect on me.

Wardrobe malfunction?

So these two pictures are both from stage 2 of the Tour of the Gila (happy Munas- no de?). Lance Armstrong visibly on the front in both... but... different jerseys?

I guess he had a vest on for the first one? Just looks weird because noone has arm warmers or anything, and Lance has a vest? I think it had something to do with doping. L'Equipe will be all over this.
