Local Matters

Crowd mentality, group consensus, stage IV cancer, & wars between distant countries didn't like the food and left before the music got good.

Toxic

I'm minding my own business, reading my email, and General Mills has the audacity to flash an ad at me containing favorite childhood breakfast cereals. There is a picture of cinnamon toast crunch up there, how am I supposed to concentrate?!?! Now I'm sad I didn't bring any back with me, I won't be able to eat it until March.

In other toxic food experiences, I was just washing my camelback out with super-strength cleaner, after coming down with something like food poisoning this weekend after our lovely hike. I was projectile vomiting out of both ends. At first I thought it might be the sandwich, but now I see a clump of mold lining the base of the camelback hose. Blegh, no wonder that water tasted funny. I've never had food poisoning before, so I guess it was a novel illness to add to the collection, but still, really unpleasant. The hike was nice though, a real chill group of people and just enough climbing to make it challenging, but not exhausting. I'm pleased to see my cardio fitness gradually improving, it's nice not to want to rip out my lungs or pass out all the time.
