It snowed in Nashville last Monday, so when the temperatures reached 80+ degrees AND I had the day off on Saturday, the VCB and I made our way to the park. There was an Earth Day celebration. We took my camera.
Our asses were one with earth.

Overheard at the Gym
April 18th, 2004 — Overheard
Old, very loud man on treadmill: YOU KNOW THAT ONE CAN OF POTTED MEAT EQUALS A CUP OF LARD? IF YOU ARE OUT OF LARD JUST USE POTTED MEAT.
Very sweet, petite redhead who works at the gym on the treadmill beside him: Really? (sounding astonished)
man: I’M JUST PULLING YOUR LEG.
redhead: I thought you might be.
man: YOU KNOW, I GOT MY DEGREE IN ANTHROPOLOGY AND ALL IT GOT ME WAS A TRIP TO THE CRAZY HOUSE.*
(a minute or so later)
man: YOU’RE NICE.
redhead, sweetly: Yeah, it’s tough. It’s hard to find a balance between nice and politely telling someone to shove off.
man: YEAH, I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.
man: DID YOU KNOW I WAS IN VIETNAM? …
Their conversation was enough to warrant me finishing early on the treadmill.
*No shit it did, old man.
