Flee From The Squat Progeny

Days Walking - 66

The wind is so much calmer today, like five to ten miles an hour, tops. Happy Sigh of relief. It's actually above zero degrees if the wind stops blowing. Say that slowly and taste it, Above Zero. Huzzah!
I'd do a little jig for ya, but my feet hurt.

Gabe is having the tummy troubles, with the frequent need to squat, if you catch my drift. He just had to eat those Snausages ala Packet. Jakes claims he told Gabe they looked kinda off, but Gabe just had to be brave. Poor fool.

We stopped five times today, just for him. Gotta stop hiking, unpack poop tent, unfurl poop tent, watch poop tent say 'poof!', wait for him to use the poop tent. FLEE from squat progeny, huff into paper bag until hyperventilation subsides, carefully repress the memory, joke about calling Ripley's Believe it or Not, furl poop tent, pack poop tent, recommence hike.

I'd be annoyed, but tomorrow it could be me. Damned hard being a Libra, I tell you! Jake told Gabe he should consider wearing the poop tent like a turtle shell, and then just squatting as necessary. He's a funny boy, that Jake.

Heather - No, I've never snorted aspirin, though I have considered crushing and snorting NoDoz before. The trouble would be, what if I liked it? What if I loved it? What if I became Incest with NoDoz? If it took over my life and next thing I knew I was at support groups:

"Hi My Name is Litany and I Snort NoDoz?"
Some things are so intense and dangerous that either you become utterly traumatized or completely obsessed. That's why I avoided the Mule/Woman Sex show in TJ.

Mike - Thanks for the words of supportfulness! Sorry I've been so whiney lately, that has to get old for you guys. You're right, the downers about the trip so far will fade, summer is coming, and people, sights, and the wonders of nature are just around the corner.

I can't wait!! Why is anticipation always sweeter than the final result? Of course, warmer weather means rutting caribou and scary clouds of bugs will create a whole new flavor of hell for us. Mmn, minty. I'm not so excited about that...

Cheesecakey - Thanks for the encouragement!! At least this time you're not encouraging me to be bad... :o) You guys are good to me!

Except for Kato - Bad Kato! You know what you did.

Robin - I love your Spoon Wars pic!! You have skills! 'Spoon Wars' is the desktop on my laptop right now. You should send the pic to a Star Wars fan art site, they love that kind of stuff.

Woah, this Wacked Ackian Woman burned her man alive. She should have just gifted him with a case of Spekk-Schlong. Can you just picture it? He comes out of the shower and she's standing there in elbow-high rubber gloves and a big hunk of seal blubber. She's hidden the towels and she's comin for his privates... Much better than fire.
