Ralph should know to donut go there by now

The park is decoy?

I like to ride my bike in the morning, but on rare occasions, I’ll go later in the afternoon, and when I do there is a great bar that serves ice cold Lagunitas on tap. MMM Good.

Hey, walking is good exercise. Why, Ralph should walk off a few donuts in, say, 14 miles!

I hate to break it to everyone, but Ralph is pretty smart. Exercise, walking, is for health, and works despite your diet. A single donut is fine as a reward, if he can stop at one. If your choice is exercise then donut vs neither, always choose the one with exercise.

Ralph follows his stomach.

Who saw that coming from further than a mile away?

wait! they have a shore? has this been mentioned before?

We never buy donuts except the morning we leave San Diego. There’s a really old WInchells on the corner as we leave the sub base on Pt Loma. You can’t get anywhere near it to park during the day. So, we stop when we leave around 5 AM. When they had that terrible storm a year ago, I called my friend and my first question was “Is Winchells ok?” (Is it December yet?? I can already smell the inside of the shop)

Ha, didn’t fool me. When you ramble on like that, your ulterior motive is showing.

I love how the donut guy has a smile on his face and tongs up and ready! He knows Ralph well!
