I managed to swim for another hour today, but it was more of a social experience, I guess. Yesterday it was lovely and quiet and I could just swim without thinking too much. Today it was a lot busier, and I needed to pay attention to avoid collisions.
It does amaze me sometimes. I mean, what is wrong with men? I know the age of chivalry is long past, and maybe it wasn't all it's cracked up to be, but it seems to me we're heading to the other extreme. I sometimes think men were asleep under a tree somewhere when evolution provided us with a social gene. One man tried to overtake two women in the pool today, but only nearly missed me and created such waves I had to stop to breathe. And then there are all these types who simply don't see you. I know men have trouble with peripheral vision, but this was absurd. It's really a matter of simple courtesy and good manners, but I probably am hopelessly old-fashioned. It's a good exercise for me, I guess, sticking to my own course and not getting distracted or upset. I need to practise more though, I'm not very good at it yet.
