The best part of the day has been the debate in the office over which is more intellectually-challenged animal, sheep or cow? And my favorite part was the co-worker illustrating how cows all stand next to hedges when it starts to rain, with their bums, posteriors, hind-end sticking out. She, was of course, arguing that cows are far stupider. But then she also doesn't like their eyes.

The H had to tell me about his Sunday night dream. Paula Radcliffe was in it. Trying to have sex with him. She maintained it was part of her training regime and that she needed to have sex with as many men as possible. He claims he turned her down. I suppose it is as good as theory as any as to why she didn't finish that marathon. Of course, if she had been training in Tehachapi she would have been used to the heat, used to the hills and would have gotten used to an altitude of 4,000 feet. Hard to imagine Tehachapi useful for anything.

I will be attempting stand-by in 16 more days. It will be nice to be somewhere it isn't raining.
