Afternoon!  Spent the morning migrating the PC at work to Windows 10 (I assume the rest of the world is at Windows 100 as it's normally with these updates that are so far behind from real life).  Finally have my stuff and ooh, we now have Chrome. Score!

 

Windows 7 here too! Still using Office 2007 on my work desktop; my work laptop was switched to Office 2016 a few weeks ago and it might as well be in Japanese.

Dave, I knew IT had it out for me!  It's a cruel joke!

 

A 10:00 AM birthday party? No, no and hell no.

 

I love racing but shutting the roads down completely is some foul shit.

Totally agree.  It was for my 1 year old niece, and naps are still the focal point of her [parents'] day.  I recall a time when that 2 hours of nap was my time to not parent, so I totally get it, but when you get up at 6:15 to go to Walmart, you've reached a new level of FTS.  My fault, I should have Amazoned that crap beforehand.

The look my husband gave me when I came in raging about the road closures was priceless.  It was all the judging, "Um, you realize they shut down Los Angeles for you last weekend bitch, you got no room to complain..."  Which was kind of (a lot) funny.

Honestly, I would not be upset AT ALL if there had been some notice to the local residents that we would be effectively trapped for 4 hours on Sunday morning.  But, literally, not a single sign on the road, no flyers, nothing.  I've had signs out the wazoo for the last three weeks about a paving project, but not a damn thing about all the main arteries being shut down for this crap.  The real frosting on the cake was the smug police guy who said, "Oh there was a bulletin."  What bulletin? When I asked the manner it was distributed, I got the blank stare.  Perhaps they Morse coded that shit?  A radio announcement at 3 a.m. on K-DGAF?

My solace was the fact that I was rage running my final mile (downhill) as the 2:30 half marathoners were at mile 10 or 11 in my 'hood, so I passed many many of them.  It's not particularly sporting to pick off tired runners when you're comparatively fresh, but at that point I did not care, and racing past someone who I perceived as the cause of my lateness made me feel better.

The notice was posted in the planning department on Alpha Centauri.

Anybody get that?

I found a race for Scottydog, but take no pictures Scott.

Why does this race have tech shirts for those who sign up?

Yay, search function. For those new folks. If you click on the link about the Nude Racing Series, the picture is um, interesting. That has to hurt.

  

There's a nekkid beer mile fun run on Saturday to boot.  Not sorry I will have to miss that!

Because the only thing more uncomfortable than naked running is naked puking.

OMG.  This was magical. You have my undying gratitude for sharing this.

So many questions.  There's a series of nude races?!!?!  It's chip timed, where do you put the chip?  No looky-loos, but you can sign up your SO as a "volunteer," that's somehow kosher?  This is a trail race, but we feel the need to specifically tell people "no rollerblades."  Which makes me wonder, how dumb are nudists?

And holy eff, there's a dance AND A BARBECUE AFTERWARD.  Don't worry about dripping sauce on your shirt.  You're not wearing one.  Also, it's TX barbecue, so that's not a problem anyway.

And this is the best line ever: "Runners have found that nude running gives them a feeling of freedom and exhilaration that cannot be matched in any other way."

Um, I'm guessing they've found that nude running gives them chafing that cannot be matched any other way.  Just sayin'.

^ Rhetorical question, no need to answer. lol
