Little Kid Tip of the Day

By -
If your little kid neighbor attempts to pull you over when you pull into your driveway, and pretends to arrest you and tell you to go to jail, you don't really have to go. He's not really an officer of the law. But if you do want to play along, tell him you first get to make your one phone call. That'll give you enough time to get inside and he'll think you're playing along.

The children in your neighborhood are street urchins. They ride their bikes in front of and behind my car. I was really scared I was going to hit one of them. They have zero fear of the big car that could kill them.

I know it. And their parents are the kind of people that would know that their kids shouldn't be riding in the road, and would still try to sue your a$$ off if you did hit them. I think I'll start parking on John Sutherland and walking.

True. I think there were adults outside when I was there - they just kinda looked at me like, "What do you think you're doing driving in the street?" My parents would have told me to get out of the street. And if they weren't outside, where the heck were they?!? Their kids are playing in the street. Parents these days!

There is no shame in being detained by the Capitol Police.

Post-Run Tip of the Day

By Stephanie -
This is a tip for those who might run where giant swarms of gnats sometimes loiter by the side of the road. This tip stems from a run on the Mayan Riviera in Mexico, but I've encountered swarms of gnats in Virginia and Kentucky as well. After your run, always stop and look in a mirror before going into public. Otherwise, you might actually complete a transaction at the resort store and greet five people before realizing you have up to 15 gnats stuck to your face and neck.
