Thank you amazon. Yes, I totally need a run parachute.
Obviously you know that I’ve been searching running shoes and other running things, so naturally you might think this is something I definitely need. But you have not seen my running outfits, and they are garish enough without a giant parachute flying behind me. And you should know that my book searches usually range from “The Complete Manual of things that might kill you: A guide to Self-Diagnosis for Hypochondriacs” to “I can be Safe, a first look a safety” so I would never buy such a complicated running accoutrement because with my luck I’d get it stuck on something like a passing car and get dragged through the neighborhood or a big wind would sweep me up into a low-lying power line and then I’d get totally zapped. So, please remember my interests consist of all things sloth, like this lovely book that made it past the cart stage, into a UPS truck and into my actual home:
This lovely pop-up book about sloths definitely makes me way happier than the thought of me running down the street with a run-parachute flapping behind me in the wind and any similar suggestions would definitely be welcome.
