The Isle of Man is a little island in the middle of the Irish Sea, the center of the British Isles (much like Lebanon, KS is the center of the United States.) The residents are Manx, and I do not mean cats. Mark Cavendish is a Manxman, and he has won Stage 2 of the Tour de France: the clockwise, 187 km (116 mile) route from Monaco to Brignoles, in the south of France.
Monday's Stage 3 will go from Marseille to La Grande-Motte, still working clockwise around southern France, along the Côte d’Azur (sometimes called the French Riviera).
On an unrelated yet very, very happy note, I read today that some neuroscientist says coffee will cure Alzheimer's. That is good news. Now if they can figure out what chocolate chips will cure, I will be in good stead.
