OK, ecozenmama, I'll raise you one...
I considered posting this on my facebook page, but elected not too...
Running yesterday at a very pedestrian pace along the open sewer we call a "wash" here in Arizona (that was a river before the apocolypse) I see the young equistrian lass whom I am occasionally fortunate enough to see.
She is riding a sort of palomino patterned steed, quite a handsome horse.
She is also an absolute vision, somewhere between Lady Godiva and Miss August.
So, I am running along and I see this young lady... She is wearing a pair of light blue and black shorty-shorts, a matching sports bra, with, persumably, some augmentive capabilities. Her midrift exposed, the color of a delicious roast chicken.
She has a blonde ponytail, of course. It undulates in time with the horse's cadence.
Normally I am immune to this girl. I've seen her before. My resistance had grown. But today, the wind is blowing from her toward me. I am downwind.
Instead of smelling like a horse, not at all a bad smell to me- and an entirely fitting one given the circumstances and the setting, she smells, ever so slightly, of the perfume worn by my senior high school prom date. Unbelievable.
In the lizard-brain that is controlled by our sense of smell I am snapped back to prom night, 1980. Sentient thought is gone. Instinct takes over... And, how do I express this... Suddenly I am one man in a bit of a three-legged sack race wearing short running shorts.
It was an exhausting run.
