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?!
