Jogging Update: By The Numbers
Percent foggier today's jog was, as compared to the above photo: 1000
Times I saw someone who I'm almost positive was a shirtless and ocean-bound U.S. Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-CT): 1
Seconds after I went just too far away that I realized I could have just shouted "Hey, senator!" and found out for sure, especially since I was wearing an Edwards for President T-shirt: about 3
Minutes later that I realized I should have asked Senator Dodd, if that were indeed him, what the story is with Rehnquist: about 3
Number of solid 9's who sat talking to each other on the wall the whole time I was there, presumably about that hot John Edwards supporter: 2
Number of bugs I inhaled during the homestretch: 1
Percent of remaining time I spent wondering whether the bug was still in my throat, if I should keep swallowing, or if I should keep hacking: 100
Times I had to stomp on the pavement to remind pedestrians ahead of me that they don't own the fucking road: 2
Times I've superkicked someone into the ocean, career: regrettably, zero

Maybe you should yell "Left!" as loud as you can. I'd never heard of that until I saw Spanglish (not a good movie btw), but after that I heard bikers say it to me a few times. And now I wish more would, since suddenly bikers are all over the sidewalks.
