deep eddy swimming and neurotic people
83 degrees and cloudy with the threat of NASTY THUNDERSTORMS. OH MY. but nothing ever happened.
i rode over to barton springs and they were closed for cleaning. damn. so whipped it around to deep eddy to get my swim on. man that felt good. a woman asked to share my lane, but wanted to do the counterclockwise lap switching dance. if you're not familiar with this, when sharing a lane (normally of 2 or more) you do up one side, then down the other. well, with just 2 of us...it seemed kinda silly. i figured we'd just split the lane and swim up and down, each on our own little side.
at one point, i 'lapped' her, and said....
me: if you like we can each just swim up and down one side. i don't want to get in your way or anything.
lady: well, i drift.
me: oh ok - well u can have this lane if you like.
lady: no, let's just do it the way we have been.
ha. well ok then, let's dance. :-)
afterwards, i was planning to hook up with g, j-bomb, lee, fred & tom, melicious m. and whoever showed up to watch napolean dynomite in the park. but j-bomb called to say they cancelled it due to threat of rain. PUSSIES! GAWD.
so rode home and me and g went to eat at threadgills. our server was at least 6'11. we had to crane our neck to see him.
THEN, this woman and her daughter leaving noticed this man, woman daughter table where the daughter was coloring some threadgill pickle or whatnot and she says: oh my daughter didn't get to finish hers, but your coloring looks great. well this little comment escalated into a 30min crazy ADD women rambling comprised of:
1. john wayne gacy
2. charles manson
3. ADD and drugs
4. angry little girls (theirs)
5. dead husbands (hers)
6. prison guards being paid more than teachers
7. jesus got mentioned at some point
8. more ADD
9. back around to john wayne gacy and him making money off his art and how wrong that is
10. her friend that dated john wayne gacy
11. her saying at least 5 times, well, we need to go and let these people have their family time.
our heads were about to explode and i thought g was gonna have a meltdown.
she finally left, but the family that was intruded upon, the woman was just as insane and complete high maintenance. i felt sorry for the daughter. i'd be ADD and angry too if she were my mom.
so ya. that was a cool evening. nice urban ride, calm swimming and neurotic people at tables next to you at dinner.
