BorisGr: You didn't actually go for a ten minute trail run, did you??

Charlie: There are days when 10 minutes feels just about right. I wish I had thought of that yesterday, when I had a day broken up by commitments that left spaces not much bigger than half an hour. A 10 minute trail run would have been just the ticket.

PG: OK, so I can't type without making a bunch of typos, most of which I spot....

Swampfox: I was going to mention this as well, but I thought it best to send a note to Gail as perhaps the best way to broach this, ahhh, rather delicate matter.

Charlie: Actually, now that I think about it I have this nice trail loop I can do from the house that takes 3:20 if I really put some oomph into it. Haven't done it in a while. Maybe it doesn't get done in 3:20 any more.

Spike: Did you know I was in a police chase once? I was doing a ride-along with the KC mountain bike police as part of my job and we chased down a car. Quite interesting experience, espeicially since the guy we chased ended up filing a police brutality complaint.

Swampfox: Well, the KC Police custom of pelting suspected nefarious types with Osage Orange fruits to bring them to their knees and then encasing them in the escape proof Osage Orange thorn/spike encrustings is bound to elicit the occasional brutality complaint or two, but my understanding is that the courts refuse to hear such complaints, reasoning that what other kind of treatment could you expect, when visiting Osage Orange country?

biggins: Welcome to news in LA. As the reporter guy from the Simpsons says: "A car chase every night or the weather girl wears a tube top. And if she doesn't, you win a pizza!"

Swampfox: This merely points out, once again, the inherent unfairness of life. Peter gets to be 1 G his whole life, no matter what. Piutepro has been given the gift of Lower Hudson Valley prose. Charlie gets his bear. Samantha gets to eat as many desserts as she wants. And so on..

Meanwhile, here on the frontier in little Laramie, we have no Trader Joes, we have no car chases, and we definitely have no weather girls in tube tops.

It is of course the latter item that the swampfox finds most galling.

Charlie: weather girls? With all the weather you have, I would think you could find some weather girls and encase them in some kind of tubes. Maybe tube socks.

As the G declines inexorably to the 120s - note today's energy expenditure - it should be noted that Peter doesn't rest on his laurels. He could be munching chocolate cake all afternoon and still wake up at a tidy 1G the next morning, but instead he keeps grinding the G down to the bare minimum, despite the prospect that he will have to buy any future clothes in the boy's department.

I have heard Peter rue the bag of sugar he was carrying some time back. Now that he has dropped two bags of sugar, the question comes to mind - where did the other bag come from? Is there another one? The suspense is tangible. These obsessions can spark some nasty eating disorders - wish sandwiches, etc.

piutepro: Peter is definitely a candidate for Oprah, both for the weight loss and the upcoming sensational book by Swampfox.

What a PR coup. 10 million frantic American house wives at the 1000 Days & culvert dashing world champs. What a riot in the tube(s).

Just never hand any balloons to Peter, he might float away.
