[10:01] <rmg51> Morning
[10:51] <JonathanD> hi
[12:36] <rmg51> JonathanD:  did you run today?
[12:36] <rmg51> I just got back from a 5 mile walk
[12:46] <waltman> morning
[12:46] <rmg51> o/
[12:58] <JonathanD> I wlaked
[12:58] <JonathanD> I can't run for now :/
[12:58] <JonathanD> my running shoes are broken.
[12:58] <waltman> :(
[12:58] <waltman> JonathanD: two words -- duct tape
[12:58] <JonathanD>  I've done that before
[12:58] <JonathanD> the heals collapsed though
[12:59] <JonathanD> I can walk in the ones I have, but can't run more than a block or two comfortably.
[12:59] <JonathanD> so I walked about 2.5 today, instead.
[13:00] <rmg51> lazy ;-)
[13:02] <waltman> 2.5 blocks?
[13:02] <JonathanD> light years
[13:03] <waltman> You must have experienced some serious time dilation. How are you liking 2013?
[13:04] <waltman> oops, 2014.
[13:05] <rmg51> so JonathanD, who won the 2012 election?
[13:06] <JonathanD> Fred.
[13:07] <waltman> rmg51: I imagine the timecops won't let him tell us.
[13:08] <rmg51> I just want to know if I should stock up on tea :P
[13:11] <waltman> rmg51: You should always have tea in stock, because tea is yummy and good for you!
[13:12] <rmg51> it just depends on what type of "party" is involved
[13:14] <waltman> I'm thinking more "Alice" than "Boston"
[15:13] <andrew> I hiked for about 7 miles yesterday, with 30-35lb pack
[21:48] <waltman> I have a sad confession to make: I caused perfectly good bacon to be wasted today.
[21:49] <waltman> I stopped at a diner this morning and ordered pancakes and sausage. The waitress brought out pancakes and sausage. When I said I'd ordered sausage, she went into the kitchen and came back out with sausage.
[21:49] <waltman> Then it gets confusing. I thought she said she was just going to take back the bacon and give it to someone else. Instead she took it from me and threw it out right in front of me.
[21:49] <waltman> So sad.
[21:49] <waltman> I didn't really want to eat both, but the women sitting next to me at the counter were already coveting the bacon.
[21:51] <waltman> I've spent the rest of the day wondering how I could have saved my bacon.
[21:56] <waltman> but...sausage really is the superior breakfast meat with pancakes.
