Normally, I make it a habit not to be up before 7am, but today I have to make up hours at work since I have a class during the day and another one in the evening. So, as a treat to myself for A) having to get up at an unGodly hour and B) being able to take 101 into work since traffic is reasonable before 6am, I stopped off at the Mountain View Krispy Kreme store. Most of the time I take I-280 which helps me avoid the temptation, but again, given the early hour of my departure, It's faster to take 101--stop off or not.

What I'm going to say next won't make much sense if you A) don't like sweets and/or donuts B) haven't ever had a Hot Krispy Kreme in the morning and C) do not like enumerated lists, so forgive me. All I have to say is, after I pulled out of the drive through and got in the left turn lane to get back onto Rengstorff, the man in the car next to me flashed me a look of utter fear and disgust and then wouldn't look back over no matter how loud I moaned.

"But officer, it was a donut!"
