How Was Your Commute Today?

I may not have beat her down, tangentgirl, but my mouth made me sound like a guest on the Jerry Springer show.

Wow, pfunk, that is wild. Good for you for not beating her down like you were on the jerry springer show.

[tangentgirl]

Sometimes that is just *#@!^%& necessary.

[Tri Girl]

holy crap- you got punched?

My worst commute isn't anywhere NEAR that insane-o. What a nut. Next time she might just get run over and maybe then she'll look up while walking on a HUGE sidewalk (I lived in DC and am pretty sure I know where you're talking about). DUDE!

I wasn't going to share my commute, as it was uneventful, but after these crazy stories, I think you might like to hear of a pleasant, uneventful commute.

My mom & daughter wrote a book together, had it printed and gave copies to everyone for christmas. Yesterday, I thought "I'd like to do that with her." My daughter loves dystopias (she's 14), so I suggested it to her: I'll write the point of view of the Establishment and she'll write the point of view of the Rebellion. She loves it. She added that it is a magic world, where magic users are downtrodden and disenfranchised.

I spent my commute, both ways, thinking out my part of the story.

Tri Girl - I checked out the sidewalk this afternoon on the way home (I cycled on the road since I'm going with traffic). The sidewalk is HUGE (I think 4-5 cyclists could ride abreast) so not sure what her issue was.

Melalvai - You commute sounds pleasant. Hearing about uneventful commutes like yours is always nice. And nice about the book!

That was just downright wrong! I wonder if she was high on something ...

[pfunk12]

I really have no idea what she was thinking but...it was early in the morning (just before 7) so it was dark, she had her head way down, and she was listening to music. Maybe she was sleepy? She wasn't angry at all so it was bizarre. Even when she said, "This is a sidewalk"...she said it so calmly. If you punch someone, shouldn't you be angry? I need to write a book about my life...

Aaww... You should write this in the foreword!

Another interesting commute this morning. I was on the trail - enjoying the moment - when I saw people with flashlights up ahead on the left side of the trail. I assumed it was runners since I often see women using them when they run in the dark. But...I also saw red flashing lights on the right hand side in a parking lot. As I was approaching the flashlights, I noticed that the 3 people were walking on to the trail into my path so I yelled, "Heads up!" and they stopped. They weren't runners. They were 3 big, strappin', hunky DC firefighters. As I slowly went by, the one firefighter said calmly, "Did you find a body?" At that point, I slammed on my brakes and clipped out and said, "Are you serious? Yeah, as if 3 DC firefighters are going to be playin' with me at 6:30 in the morning! He said, "We got a call in for a body." I think I said something (again) like, "Really?" They asked if I was heading all the way to DC and when I said yes, the one firefighter said, "If you find a body, call us." Okay, so for the next mile or so, I had visions of Freddy and Jason popping out of the woods. In all seriousness, what's tomorrow morning's commute going to bring?!

[7rider]

Man, I loooove D.C.!!!

As I slowly went by, the one firefighter said calmly, "Did you find a body?"

Stated so matter of factly ... as if you, perchance, would have ridden by the firefighters and not mentioned seeing a body lying on the ground in passing. Hmmm!

This has to be one of the coolest things I've heard all day.

Pfunk, maybe you should start videoing your commutes.
