Of exercise and immigrants and dogs
I tried going jogging this morning -- just a few minutes ago, to be more accurate.
Never got beyond my front gate.
When I walked out the front door, I saw three construction workers walking past my house. One of the neighboring houses is being torn down for... I don't really know what but it's being torn down and there is a constant stream of construction workers wandering back and forth outside my house.
I want some exercise but even I am not stupid enough to tempt fate by running around in front of 15-20 guys during dawn before the sun has fully risen and before anyone in the neighborhood is awake.
I wonder how many of those construction workers are illegal Indonesian immigrants.
So instead, I went running a few laps around my house till the racket those devil-dogs made got intolerable. Apparently, they can't stand the thought of me running around while they are cooped up in the cage. Pansies!
