pshaw_ravenFlorida Woman Stopped From Driving into Thousands of 5K Turkey Trotters - she was apparently angry about ... not being able to drive where she wanted. This is almost on the heels of the incident on the Sunshine Bridge where a drunk woman was attempting to drive onto the 10k course and an officer literally used her cruiser to stop her. The dashcam footage is hair-raising.
Nonbinary Athlete Inclusion and Acceptance in Running Riley got a Golden Ticket! Their 100 mile time is AMAZING. Anyway - this year I've noticed more and more races opening up a nonbinary category. Every time I've signed up for a race, I get to that question, pause, and just mark "female," since that's close enough. Obviously there are objections to this, and I've already read about someone who signed himself up as NB because, as he openly stated, it would be much easier to win his age group.
Fox bought me a coffee advent calendar, and today's was ... McCafe? I haven't been to a McDonald's in ages. I remember back in college when coffee shops were something they had in Paris and San Francisco, but not Podunk, Tennessee. You could get a hot, serviceable cup of coffee at Mickey D's. It was a damn sight better than the gas station swill that might have been sitting there cooking on the burner for six hours or longer. What I drank today was a pretty good, middle of the road coffee. Nothing special, but also not offensively bad or too bland. It benefited from a shot of cream.
I have not gotten around to making scones today, but definitely tomorrow. I'll be making cinnamon chip scones with a vanilla icing drizzle, and then a batch of savory cheddar ones when I can go to the store. I'll need Greek yogurt and a really sharp cheddar for that. Maybe some fresh herbs, too. I thought I had yogurt, but I guess I ate it all.
