Today’s Run:  3.57 miles

Remember when you were a kid and had the jokes that went something like…”What is sad?”  or  ” What is_____ (you filled in the blank)?  Well, today (and yesterday for that matter) I saw something that was truly sad.

You see, we had a Krispy Kreme store open in our town yesterday.  It is the only Krispy Kreme store in the Golden Triangle area, therefore, there was a great deal of media hoopla leading up to this opening.

Now to the really sad part.  We had to make a trip into town yesterday and today and saw not just cars going to the store, but cars lined up close to a mile down the road waiting for the drive-thru window of the Krispy Kreme!  And to keep traffic moving, they had two police cruisers directing traffic and keeping one entire lane designated specifically for donut traffic!  An entire lane of traffic closed for a donut store!

Well, I guess for one day, and it being a Krispy Kreme and all, it is almost understandable but to do it all again today!?!  Amazing!!!  Sad.

On to other things.  Twice this week when a person in our house has tried to take a bath, the dog has decided that the bath was designated for him.  When you run a bath for yourself and turn around to grab a towel and turn back around to find the dog has jumped into your nice, warm tub you clue into the fact that the dog needs a bath/wants a bath.  So, tonight Paxton finally got his bath!  Now we have a squeaky clean, strawberry scented puppy!
