Give me the latitude to recount some of them here.
A woman
standing next to the highway, in the shrubbery of a bank, holding a small
terrier, and singing the most eerie tune that’s ever been sung.
(Needless to say, I keep pedaling).
(Needless to say, I keep pedaling).
Speaking of
four-footed beasts of the canine variety, a miniature, emaciated Doberman tied
to a lamppost next to the highway. It goes without saying, I cannot leave her
there, but I take her home, feed her, and quickly dispatch the precious pooch
to a no-kill shelter.
A young man,
perhaps 6’ tall, 170 lbs., walking along the sidewalk towards me, as I am
preparing to cross a four lane thoroughfare. I look to my right. I see him. I
look to the left. No traffic. I look to the right, and he has vanished from my
sight. Did I mention there is an 8’ wall on his left, and a well-lit highway on
his right? What is that phrase about encountering angels unaware?
(Well, I can tell you I was all too aware of this one).
(Well, I can tell you I was all too aware of this one).
A young man
with a cane standing at a busy intersection. Approaching him he asks if I can
direct him to a particular part of town. Johnny, (for that is his name) tells
me that he has been walking for five (5) hours; having been released earlier
that evening from the county jail. Making a calculated decision I suggest he
keep walking. I will finish pedaling home, retrieve my car, and drive him the
remaining couple of miles to his home. (That I am writing this story and have
suffered no harm speaks for itself).
And then
tonight,
Perhaps the
most bizarre scenario of all.
