Clementine Paddleford, proto-foodie, Kansan, awesomesauce. I stumbled over this quote while rifling through some back-issues of Saveur at my Dad’s house and thought it needed to be shared.

Don’t like abortions? Don’t get one.
Don’t like drugs? Don’t do them.
Don’t like sex? Don’t have it.
Don’t like your rights taken away? Don’t take away anybody elses.

File this under "WTF was I thinking???"
Decided to walk to the Encinitas library today to work off some stress. 9 miles round trip. That’s right, I said 9 miles. I am not going to be able to move tomorrow, but I’ll sleep good tonight! You betcha!

It's pretty awesome that...
