Fats ruin everything. There was a barricade about 1/2 mile surrounding the entrance to the towpath where I take my dog to run. I asked the cop and he said there was a 5k and the barricade would be up for another 2 hours. So I had to park that far away, which would usually be nbd, but I forgot my leash (can't walk through town leash less) so I had to rip apart some shopping bags so I could do some rapunzel shit with the handles to make a string leash. As I'm walking to the path along the "race" I see nothing but mini moons waddling along the course. I just googled and the last wave started at 10:30. It's almost 2pm right now. The whole town is a traffic clusterfuck all afternoon because people need HOURS to go 5k. Even ambling along that shit should take 1.5 hours TOPS. And now I have pieces of shopping bag all over my backseat, and will be very inconvenienced carrying my purchases into the house.
