Bacteria Tip of the Day

By -
If it rains a lot in a place like Los Angeles, where the water has nowhere to go except the ocean, resist the urge to swim. According to garish signage, the bacteria levels of the water will be excessive, and could cause health risks. Seeing washed up seals in such water is also not a good sign that water is "healthy" to swim in. Still, if you can't resist the call of the water, at least take a shower before too long.

I personally am a fan of the washed up seal, and the signage links. :-)

Make that two votes for the seal. (Bonus points for the swimmer, though.)

I was a little surprised (and disappointed) we didn't have links to actual pictures of the signage and the swimming from this little escapade!

I'm a little surprised (and dissappointed) that you don't have a picture of Andy covered in algae!

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.
