Popsicles

[jedusor]

The temperature is in the nineties in KC this week. I called Mom to see if I could drive home, or at least get a ride, but she didn't pick up the phone, so I had to walk the ten blocks or so in the heat, in my black work pants.

I decided that no human being could be expected to do that without some defense against the heat, so I bought a box of six lime popsicles. I gave three to co-workers who were on break; they were very happy to get them, and that made me feel good. I ate one, making it last most of the way home. I was going to give the other two to the people who had been outside the store all day petitioning to reverse the light rail decision (I don't agree at all with them, but they were nice to me, and they'd been out there for hours), but they'd left already, so I kept the remaining popsicles and put them in the freezer when I got home.

Sometimes life sucks, and the problem can't be solved without massive amounts of effort, money, time, and luck.

Sometimes life sucks, and all you need to make it better is popsicles.

I was going to say something about life, and sucking, and popsicles, but it's not quite coming together in my mind. Perhaps what I need is a popsicle. :)
