one halloween when i was in high school, i climbed up in a tree in front of our house and jumped down, scarying the daylights out of people. the reactions i got were priceless. screams! crying! lawsuits! i'm exaggerating a bit, but i thought it was great fun. i now wish to apologize to those whom i scarred for life.
why this sudden change of heart? well, what goes around, comes around. i had the daylights scared out of me this morning.
i was riding along, minding my own business, when out of no where, there's a man on the side of the road! all i saw was a white bag and then there were booted feet and long dark legs in pants. since i know that 99.99% of hitchhikers are murderers - http://tinyurl.com/hitchhikersmurder - i got this great shot of adrenaline and pedaled hard past. whew! that was a close call.
i kept on rolling toward home, hoping not to meet up with any more stealth persons of interest. (that's cop code for suspected criminals. dano said it on the episode of "hawaii 5-0" i watched last night.) i made it back to town and was riding past the old moyer building when i saw feet at the side of the road again. there were two pairs of feet wearing athletic shoes. the shoes and the feet filling them belonged to my running friends, keri and jean. i tried not to scare them. honestly, i didn't want to startle them. i just wanted them to know i was there. all i did was say, "there are reflective shoes," and they gasped and OMGed and screamed and cried.
i suspect i'll be served papers later this afternoon. just what i need...another lawsuit! (16.03 miles @ 16.0mph)
