I did go to the pool and soon remembered why I shouldn't have.  It was packed.  Packed with people who do not normally swim during the times I do and who do not know the rules of the road but think that they are there to not only swim but to tell us regulars what to do.  

When one woman yelled at Yuli (part of the Asian couple who are there with me every Monday), I was getting ready to yell back when Alvin, one of the lifeguards, stepped in and explained to her how we do things.  She wasn't happy.  Yuli was embarrassed.  Bin, his wife, was embarrassed and I was pissed.  Then another non-regular woman started bitching and I decided that 30 minutes was enough pool time for me.

In the dressing room, one of the really old people who have a shallow end class at noon was listening to me gripe and said, in total sympathy, "I hate it when people like that assume the pubic in public pool includes them!"

I would have high fived or fist bumped her but didn't want to hurt her.

A while back I finally got Amazon to agree to put that POS delivery company OnTrac on the bottom of my list of shippers to use.  As a result, I have not had them deliver a package until today and ... I sat here and watched the guy fuck it up.  They have a key to the back door, and explicit instructions.  I watched him at the front door using the call system, which they are not allowed to do.  He called me and let it ring ONE time.  He hung up before I could get the phone out of my pocket.

Their website says he left the package in the mail room.  I'll go down after I finish my mocha and check.  Part of me hopes it's not there so I can bitch to Amazon again.  I want those people out of my life for good and forever.

I had to go out a while ago to drop off something and on the way passed 5 different shops selling Seahawks stuff (being so close to the stadium means we're crammed with them around here).  Each was packed to the gills.  I am so grateful that 1.  There's no Seahawks stuff I want or need to buy today.  2.  I kinda wish I had a truckload to sell today - talk about the golden goose!!

And my 11" chromebook does not even come close to fitting into a neoprine sleeve advertised as 11.6" - somebody's fudging the nums.

By the time I get up there at the end of January, I hope a lot of stuff is still available and on sale. But that will be the week before the Superbowl, so the prices will depend on how far they get in the playoffs. I have a beautiful stadium jacket but it's way too warm for anything except scaling the Himalayas, and I want to snag a windbreaker. I'm not seeing any online which have the logo across the back.

Thanks. Looking for 2XL full zipper, no hood, no fleece lining, in the "real" Seahawks colors of bright blue and bright green.
