Quitters!

I had to cut my walk short because, contrary to popular belief, we do actually have weather here in Southern California.

It’s raining today and I’m diggin’ it. We don’t get enough of the stuff. That doesn’t mean I’m ready to move to Seattle but hey, a little liquid sunshine never hurt anybody.

Or did it?

While on my walk, I noticed that I was pretty much the only one out there. As with riding the train to work, I’ve gotten used to seeing the same faces while out for a walk. But today…nobody in sight. Okay, there was maybe one person but I had never seen him before.

Look, you already know I’m not exactly Jack Lalanne. I’ll be the first one to admit I need to lose more weight. Maybe it’s that knowledge that drove me to go for a walk today. But what happened to all those hearty health-nuts? If anything, I expected to at least see the joggers out there since they are the most arrogant of the bunch. They must all be made of sugar if they couldn’t handle today’s horrific conditions.

Speaking of quitters, take a gander at this:

I saw this the other night and just about crashed the truck. Think of the irony here: a Papa John’s pizza being built in the space one occupied by Contours. What’s better? There is a Togo’s just to the right of what will be Papa John’s. And what’s to the right of Togo’s? Weight Watchers. I am not kidding.

But on the plus side: I now have a Papa John’s in my neighborhood!
