Busy.

Racing to prepare for an 11a meeting. I’ll get back to you guys in a couple hours.

In the meantime, quick story from yesterday. I’m in the sauna after training, two other dudes in there, one older, one younger. I enter the space and stretch a bit and sit down. After abot 10 minutes, the older guy starts emptying the contents of his sinuses into his gym towl– the towels you get with your membership and that you return after you’re done using it. The first time he did it was nasty and cringe worthy. The second time I started to get highly annoyed. And, a few minutes later as he began to blow shnoz again, before I could stop myself I said: “That’s pretty gross.”

And both of them looked at me. And I said: “You can’t get a tissue or something?” And he said: “There’s sweat all over the floor in here, isn’t that gross?” And I said: “There’s a huge difference between sweat and the insides of your sinus. You know other people will be using that towel, right?” And he said: “Yeah after it’s washed.” And I said: “You don’t see people walking around wiping their asses with their gym towel.” And he said: “Don’t get vulgar.” And I said: “Blowing your nose into a public gym towel is vulgar, especially when there are paper towels right there.”

And that was the end. The younger guy got up and left at some point. And after a few minutes, I left the older guy, maybe in his 50s, alone in there.

On my walk home I wondered if I done the right thing, or the wrong thing.

Later.
