Crazy lady in you? Eh. Maybe, but IO would have felt the same way. Poor lady! And I'd love to see some mountain biking pictures - I've got tons of admiration for - there's no way in hell that I could it. Mostly because I hate riding up hills, and partially because after Mr. Volatile t-boned an aspen and broke his neck (in an infamous unleashed dog incident) I'm a total chicken. I'd much rather throw myself down a Super G course at 50 miles an hour!

I don't think it would be crazy to want to pull over and hug the lady, or even to actually do it. Little things like that make us realize how much we take for granted; I know it makes me ache when I notice things like that, because I can't help but think how terribly sad it must make the people who are actually experiencing it.

I loved your stories about people. The old lady one made me both terribly happy and terribly sad. It reminded me of a couple that I used to see around my parents neighbourhood years ago. Two became one, and then neither of them were around anymore, and I wondered if she was in a home somewhere and whether she had friends and family to visit her.

Beans, you planted beans right?!?! Glorious little shiney sweet beans! Yes? Huh? Yeah right? Beans? Did ya? Please? Yes?

No, Palinode, we have not (yet) planted beans.

Maybe her husband was just sick or had to be somewhere else that night. Unless, he never returns.....I used to watch an old couple like that who'd walk up Floyd and back. First it was them and their dog. Then, her and the dog. Then, just her. Then I moved but for years, I'd see her around, like a ghost. I always figured that would be me one day.

Actually, I've seen her several times now and she's always alone.

I appreciate you keeping me in mind, Adrien, but that Juan Valdez wasn't me.

When you say "Woody Allen in tube socks" my brain keeps serving up this image of a bouquet of Woody Allens all sprouting glumly from a tube sock vase.

That's...a disturbing image. I'm sorry I assumed you were Juan. Perhaps the real Juan just really likes my beans?

I'm guessing the Woody Allen guy's just there checking out the constant stream of buff little hotties. Which makes the name "Woody" so frighteningly apt that I threw up in my mouth a little typing it.
