The socks go under the leggings to soak up the sweat and smelliness. Living in the forest it can get kind of humid. ---

Good reply: “I’m a Canadian citizen, ma’am. Please remove me from your list as I cannot vote in the US.” _click_ Better reply: “Lo siento. No habla ingles, senora.” _click_ Best reply: “I’m a non-voting felon!” Then start singing \*Hide yo kids, hide yo wife \*until she hangs up. ---

A few years ago, I told my boss that, if he kept being a prick, one day I just wouldn’t show up. “You wouldn’t dare,” he said. I didn’t show up for work. ---

There was an accident today right outside my workplace, where a car had hit a pole. I didn’t have anything to do and was really bored, so I just looked at the firemen for a long, long time.
