What are these things? They look like evil clowns, like a combination of a dog and a black man, a caricature of a black man on a stick, like a circus prop. Are they clones? Ugly clones of a slave cast? Or this must be a joke? If these are aliens, they are the ugliest aliens I could imagine.

There's a grocery store that I shop at nearby where I live, that I absolutely hate, but I only shop there for the convenience of it being close to where I live.

I'm not feeling sore anymore after my runs, because I've learned the importance of warming up and stretching, which has made a world of difference.
