The More You Know!

I was just out walking Milo, and I decided to head up to the Mud Truck and grab a cup of coffee while I was out. As we made our way back home, I was suddenly stopped by an old woman who said, "Miss, can I just say one thing to you?" Automatically I assumed she was going to start in about something regarding Milo, maybe that people around her building don't clean up after their dogs, or something to that effect. Instead, she informs me that I should NEVER walk and drink liquids at the same time. Apparently, this causes hypertension and diabetes. She then attempted to make an analogy regarding walking and drinking and diving into a swimming pool, but sadly (and unsurprisingly), it made little to no sense. However, you'll be thrilled to know that eating and walking is just fine! So I did what I always do when coming across a crazy person. I smiled, told her I'd take her advice into consideration, and hurried away, as she continued muttering to herself about how rich the hospitals were getting off of people like me.
