Rest Day

Saturday was a rest day. Dave and I walked around town. There was a construction site by our condo. Heavy machinery was parked at said site. Always wanting to see what it looked like from the cockpit of an ore car, I got in. The off duty policeman was not amused. We went back to the condo.

I went to a health food store in town. The altitude was wrecking my joints. The woman at the store (whom I'm sure lived in a commune) told me that I was clearly dehydrated. The solution: coconut water. (No, not coconut milk, coconut water). She (let's call her Starlight the Unicorn Whisperer) explained that the water in young coconuts is filled with powerful antioxidants that will not only hydrate me but rejuvenate me to no end. Starlight said that the best coconut water comes from young coconuts. i.e., kind of like coconut veal for vegans. Not wanting to pass up rejuvenation, I bought a case. I can't believe I've been wasting the last 37 years drinking regular old water. From now on I will only drink water that has been nurtured inside a young warm coconut. PETA be damned.
