			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I planned on running El Moro and practicing my photo skills since that&#8217;s almost all I&#8217;ll be doing, and talking about how much I like El Moro even though it kicks my butt again and again.

<div style="text-align: left;">One of the best things about el moro is that it&#8217;s across the street from the beach, so you can get an ice bath after a hard run <img src='http://milesofabbie.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>After a few minutes in the ocean I walked down the street to where my car was parked and started up the PCH on my way home.  Then I saw the car pictured below&#8230;<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PURPMwpeP-g/SPvmwArM4iI/AAAAAAAAAN8/L8eLwcIA7So/s1600-h/DSC00863.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259050702374494754" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PURPMwpeP-g/SPvmwArM4iI/AAAAAAAAAN8/L8eLwcIA7So/s320/DSC00863.JPG" border="0" alt="" /></a>1.  It&#8217;s a Bentley, which isn&#8217;t that out of the ordinary in Newport Beach.  2.  A gray haired guy with his hair perfectly styled despite the convertible top?  Again, not that special.  The kicker? 3.  He was BLARING &#8220;You Shook Me All Night Long&#8221;.  Maybe I shouldn&#8217;t have been that surprised, but hello, mid-life crisis much??</p>
<p>Then later I saw another Bentley, which surprised me because I haven&#8217;t seen two in one day before.  This one looked more like a Chrysler 500 and was not a convertible.</p>
<p>Then near Fashion Island I was stopped at a light and I saw a person a couple cars up toss a cigarette butt out of her SUV window.  Before I could even finish a thought about how I feel about that, a hand pops out the window with ANOTHER cigarette in her hand.  Like she literally must have lit the new cigarette with the old one.  Can&#8217;t get the cancer in you much faster than that!</p>
