Condoms at 3

Quote of the Day: Too long in 70% alcohol causes vacuoloation in the white matter. Keep the time down to the minimum in your processing schedules.

The dogs decided at 3:00 this morning that they wanted to go outside. They have been accommodating in their sleep schedule, allowing me until at least 7 every morning. They probably don't want me to become too complacent and comfortable in my position and decided to let me know who is really in charge around here. I get the message.

But as an aside, say that you're a guy and you're entertaining your lady friend or your man friend and talk turns toward staying the night and sex and you discover that you do not have any condoms; and it is 3:15 in the morning. What do you do?

You say, "Excuse me, I'll be right back," and you run out of your apartment building up the middle of Ninth Street in your long-sleeved white T-shirt, blue jeans, and black street shoes, arms pumping like a champion sprinter, legs raising up and down like pistons, eyes on the prize, as quiet and fast as you can, lucky that snow is not yet falling, past the guy walking his two boxers and beagle, into 9th Street News & Video ("Open 24 Hours," "ADULT & Popular VIDEOS"), spend about 20 seconds in the store, and race out with the goods you require back down the center of Ninth Street past the guy with the three dogs and into the apartment building about 500 feet down the road. Round trip: Seventy seconds, tops.

It's an interesting neighborhood.

Was that you running at 3:15 am?

I'm fairly certain that couldn't be acheived in less than 20 minutes in my neighborhood. The video stores are all closed by 9, and it's a six mile round trip to the 7-11. May as well go together. :o)
