The Latest, Sad Twist on 'Traffic'

This isn't the second movie-related entry (with a running tie-in) I'd alluded to earlier. That one will come after tomorrow's Super Run 10k review.

Several years ago, I celebrated running the Vermont City Marathon by eating greasy KFC chicken in a Burlington hotel bed while watching the movie Traffic. It was a disturbing movie, especially for someone destined to move to the movie's setting in a few months.

I mention this because of the lead story on last night's local news. If you ask me, drug trafficking has hit a new low.

I had a similar expercience BEFORE the Edinburgh 10 m. last year and I spent the worst night pre-race of my life....but only for the food.

Being a pet person (2 dalmatians), I had the same thought when I read the article. Had to go find my Super Shari and Crazy Daisy and give them an extra hug and pat on the head. Made me feel better but they probably wondered why I had to wake them up!
