Marathon runners put on those silver heat blankets to do whatever for their body temp after they finish a race. I live on the street where the Boston Marathon ends, so they were milling around, waiting for me to congratulate them or some shit. Idk, underfed attention whores.
Congrats on the job and internship! The internship part actually sounds fun.
P.S. Have you heard Gang Green? If you're into Discharge, you might like them too.
