Thirteen miles. I once walked thirteen miles under the Spanish sun with a foot swollen like unto a club.
Learn from my example: always check the dimensions on your map of Madrid.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's kinda creepy. But worth a shot.
eta: to lori, not to shrift. Totally not to shrift.

What can I say? I was young and poor, and fleeing the American government.

No El Nino in sight.

I have no concrete evidence that I actually walked thirteen miles, although the number sticks in my head like I'd done the math. I know is that I was totally on the opposite side of the city, and... it had to be Madrid. Yeah, because I had to go to Estación Sur. On the way to Barcelona, the bus showed Far From Home: The Adventures of Yellow Dog in Spanish.
Good times.

I was told to watch out for the south swells, and surf when they're up. So freaking complicated. I just want to get out on the board again, without whining like a baby, and preferably delay the purchase of a 3/4 or heavier wetsuit.

Scarily, Cindy, when I go out googling for my sites, it happens at least once that I see a pic and go "That's hot! I need that!" and click through to my own site. I'm a victim of my own flakiness and ... obsessiveness?

I think I'm a ten. The suits I tried on to buy the one I have now fit very differently, despite claiming to be the same size.

Maybe you'd fit the size 9 that's on sale? You can always return it, which is what I need to do with three pairs of shoes I still have from them.
