potpourri

California Department of Redundancy Department of California - when I was jogging this morning, I watched 3 landscaping guys on riding lawnmowers in a row, covering the EXACT SAME BLADES OF GRASS, then I saw 4 park employees walking like ducks in a row picking up trash on the exact same path (the first guy was getting everything, the other 3 were kind of just strolling.). Gosh, why does this state have financial problems? I don't get it. (also, how do those people have jobs and not me?)

An old man carrying a shilelagh almost went all vigilante on me this morning - I jogged 'round a corner at the park and came upon the dude feeding some squirrels, I guess I surprised him because he raised up his cane like he was going to smite me. I should be happy he didn't have a gun. Yay for not living in Texas!

I watch too much CSI - I took a little detour from my normal path at the park this morning and found myself on this deserted trail, lined with lush grass and fall-colored trees - a normal person would have enjoyed the cool autumn solitude, but I couldn't stop thinking about how long it would take someone to find my body if I were butchered there by some psychopath who lives in the graffiti-ed storm drain.

Once again, just for a second, I find myself pining for an anonymous little corner of the internet - I'm just sayin'.

Everyone who lives in the entire state of California (yes, including me) is ridiculous. Fucking ridiculous - for-fucking-real (possibly related to the above). brb, moving to Idaho or Belize or Prague or something.
