Take A Hike

The morning started off sunny, so we decided to drive south of Vienna, take a nice hike through that portion of the Vienna Woods.

But by the time got ourselves downstairs, about noon, the skies were all cloudy and gray.

Still. We went anyhow, and had a good hike through the woods. Passed a fair number of people along the paths, too, many of them walking their very happy dogs, who trotted ahead, tongues hanging and tails wagging.

The good thing about the Vienna Woods, and in fact many such nature trails in Austria, is the fact that there are usually several little places along the way where you can get something to eat or drink. So after walking uphill a couple of miles, B and I stopped in at this place where we each enjoyed a bowl of soup.

Click on the various links; two or three photos come up, one of which shows a fantastic view of Vienna in the distance. Unfortunately it was so overcast today I couldn't get a decent shot of this view myself...

A bit of a problem when I went to take a piss.

For Christmas, one of my gifts was a pair of long underwear. Today I wore them for the first time. But when I went to take a piss, I found out the manufacturer had evidently failed to include the usual slit from which a man can dangle his hose. WTF?

Then I thought: Hell, I must have put these things on backwards, because surely no underwear maker would be so fucking stupid...

But, yes. When I got home I checked the situation RE the missing slit. NO DICK-SLIT! So, fair warning: Don't buy long ski underwear made by ODLO, style 152042, men's warm, unless you want to sit down like a girl when you piss. Or pull the front of the underwear down a foot or so, like your humble he-man of a blogger had to do. (Well, maybe not a foot.)

B's comment: Whiner! Crybaby! If the majority of the world population can pee without a slit, so can you. I am simply filing his complaint under the heading: "Habitual overestimation of the importance of a fairly crudely designed reproductive organ."

I shall consider my girlfriend's thoughtful comments.

Then I shall reject them.
