Words Written For My Nanny
Lumps of brown sugar swirled
Into my cream of wheat,
Butter puddling too.
A touch, a wink, a smile,
A kiss on the neck
from you.
Woman of wonder curled
Into my DNA,
Long fingers too.
A look, a laugh, a joke,
A book on the shelf
From you.
Like souvenirs all unfurled
Into my indexed mind,
Cheerful legends too.
A film, a shot, a scene,
A photo album
From you.
Fearless nature burled
Into my composition,
Serious scowl too.
A strength, a truth, authenticity,
A standard edge
From you.
Invitation to the brim of your world,
Into my heartbreak story,
Relentless pain too.
And Still.
A touch, a wink, a smile,
A kiss on the neck
from you.

Personal bike of Mark Cavendish. Pretty sure Mark is the only one on the Etixx-Quickstep team that has a Venge as their daily ride.
Amgen Tour of California stage 4 Pismo Beach
These 5 riders (left to right: Gregory Daniel (Axeon Cycling), Kiel Reijnen (UnitedHealthcare-blue/white jersey), Jesse Anthony (Optum), William Clarke (Drapac), and Daniel Teklehaimanot (MTN - Qhubeka) jumped out ahead of the peleton and have about a 2 minute lead on the rest of the riders.
William Clarke is lifting a musette bag filled with his lunch. The riders can burn through 6000 or more calories racing, so they eat on the bike during the race. Jesse Anthongy (orange helmet/sox) has his own bag slung over his shoulder.
Which translates to the rock towers of the monkey stones.
They are popular with climbers.
The probable explanation for the name of the group of rocks is due to the eagle owl that nested here in the past. The Old German word for eagle owl is Auf and the term Aufensteine ​​corrupted to Affensteine (monkey stones) over the years.
