ALL THIS, AND EVIL SLOW-MOTION SNACKING! Yes, it's a pain in the ass to remember, but every-other week, including this one, CBS has a football doubleheader, and the Race is likely to run at leasdt half-hour late.

But what thrills from this TAR Classic leg: airport intrigue! India! Ugly Americanism! A classic reckless/chicken detour! Alli-crocodiles, homeless cows and sinister-looking monkeys! A truly awesome concept for a local roadblock, Madras shirts, and let's not forget, gang: don't drink and drive.

Oh, yeah, and a rules change we need to discuss in the Comments.

Oh, yeah, and robot camels are coming.

One strategery note: in flight situations like this, where you're being told there won't be flights until the next day in some cases, isn't the best bet always to Keep Moving, get in the main country as quickly as you can and figure that you can work the last local flights once you get there? Even if it takes one more flight to do it, idle time is wasted -- don't sit in the airport all day when you could be going . . . somewhere.
