The Panda Bear Stare...

Updates are coming from me but first I have to tell a little tale of a late night drive home and a Panda Bear.

It was a dark and stormy night(actually it was not stormy but VERY dark-as it was 11:00pm), and this roller mama was deliriously driving home from a KILLER derby practice.  We started doing Fresh Meat work, I.E: knee drops, crossovers, etc. then went on to more skills practice and sooo much endurance.  My back still hurts from when I fell off of my three wheeled skate and has never gotten any better, and I also have sad mama back muscles in my lower back which YELL at me when I go in circles.  So that was hard, but not as hard as skating in a circle and then taking turns weaving in and out of moving people up a line while going in circles as fast as possible.  I LOVED the weaving part of this activity and thought I did pretty well at it.  No fear and pretty good at squeezing my plus sized boday in between skaters.  The part that was falaphal, was the actual skating around and around and around.  We went so long, and I am so out of shape that I almost puked like the fat kid running the mile in gym class in the summer. (which was pretty much me back in school minus the fat).  I was never really physically fit.

Anyhoo....I am wandering. On the ride home---NOT stopping at any fast food places for fries and a GIANT Diet coke, I was minding my own business when what do I see a couple hundred yards(or feet or inches-I am not good at guesstimating distance) but a Panda Bear. Now we all know that this was probably NOT a panda bear.  But I swear I was delirious from my exertion or something and this mailbox looked just like a panda sitting on the side of the road staring at me.  I shook my head to clear it and squinted through my bleary eyes and still could not reconcile with the fact that there was not a panda bear sitting there.  In fact I have not actually verified this information, so everyone in Easthampton should be on the lookout for this cuddly creature.
