A whole new threat! (for me)

A couple evenings ago, I'm riding along on a country road and I spy 2 people doing this funny 2-steps forward, 3 steps back kind of thing back & forth across the road. As I get closer, I realize they're paying NO attention to traffic of any kind. Their movements are erratic, so it's not safe to pass in front or behind them. I give the S.P. YO and yell "Heads up!" - they both look at me with this expression . Then I see the aerosole can... "You spraying poison?" I cry out, imagining sucking it into my pretty pink lungs...

"No, bees."

I ride as fast as I can behind them and then away, leaving them, a hundred angry yellowjackets, and the theme from Deliverance playing in my wake.

No place is REALLY safe, I guess.
