Athlete with Scraper

Well I suppose this is a good time to not run. My treadmill is broke, the desert wind has been in psycho rage mode for days now, and I've been hacking with a persistent cough since Tuesday. I haven't had any food guilt though! Liz made one of the best key lime pies ever yesterday. We finished that off tonight. Fresh fruit rules! I also made a trip to Denny's this morning. Oh Supreme Omelette with hashbrowns and a half a plate of nachos going in mah belly maka me happy! I know... nachos at 9:30 in the morning with black coffee and tabasco sauce. Have I completely ruined it for you?

A friend called me this morning asking about a time and place we went to years ago on a photo trip. I figured out we had gone to a place named Jasmine Gardens. We just kind of stumbled on this place. It was very cool as gardens go, but we got there so late, we kinda rushed through it. I would like to revisit this place sometime perhaps. I'd be more willing to absorb all the art in the gardens for what they were rather than just looking at them with the camera eye. The Greek theme was very interesting. Here's an infra red pic I took while there.

Hmmm just dark enough in the right spots no? Apparently, the athletes back then would scrape the sweat and dust off themselves. Is that a new running gadget I hear in my brain? A sweat scraper slash squeegee that attaches to you via velcro for the modern ultrarunner? Wait a minute... can you drink sweat? We'll see now, Answer.com just told me I can, because it's delicious!! It's electrolyte recycling!

All right them , I'm going to make some popcorn and watch Bear Grylls cut up a seal and make a wet suit out of it.
