What a day on the bike path!
Went out this morning for my semi weekly jog and what a jog! First of all, I'm a dog lover. Have a beautiful Yorkie, and love him dearly. But while jogging after being bit on two different occasions from behind, I'm very leery of even a leashed dog on the path. After being bit the last time, the owner said, "Boy, they've never done that before!". OUCH!
So this morning, here comes a big black boxer mix heading my direction. He ends up trailing behind me my first mile and then ends up being my side-by-side running partner. When I turned around, she continued on. No problems there......so far so good.
1/2 mile down the path, here comes a Toyota RAV at me! With all our intense heat and humidity, at first I thought it was me. It's only a mirage, I says to myself. But no. What? Down the narrow bike path? I get off to the side of the path, wondering if perhaps this lost person has had a seizure, or some other medical complication that somehow placed them on the path.
With the window rolled down, the driver stops, and without hesitation, asks me for directions to a farm house, somewhere "back here", that she is trying to find! No kidding! I nicely asked her if she realized that she was on a bike path. She informed me that she thought that something was a little funny about the road.
Kindly without being moved concerning her situation from her very displaced vehicle, she asked directions again. I pointed her to the nearest person OFF THE PATH that could possibly help her, and stoically, away she drove.
Interesting.............what a morning!!!
