Arachnid Attack

One thing that I don't remember about France from lat year is the bugs. It could be the different houses or the time of year, but either way our house is crawling. The ant infestation in Erik's room has gotten slightly better, but there is probably a nest in the wall that will have to be destroyed. This afternoon we found seven large spiders while cleaning. The largest of which was in my sheets. Most houses here are very old with moldy basements and roofs, so insects are an accepted part of life for people in the Normandie region. I, however, am an American and I do not like spiders in my bed. After the race tomorrow I plan on watching Starship Troopers to get pumped up, then break out the lighter fluid and prove who the dominant species is. I'm pretty sure our house is mostly stone so it shouldn't be a problem...pretty sure.
Tomorrow's race is 32 laps of a 2.9km circuit. So it's basically the bastard child of a sketchy crit and a boring road race. The french will no doubt be excited to win on bastille day but I will do all I can to spoil their fun.
