I unconsciously let out this scream- not a shriek, but a full-fledged Horror Movie About To Be Killed SCREAM, and the dog got this funny expressin and stopped dead in his tracks, and I quickly looked around to see if anyone was behind me- thank God no one was!!

Oh Nanci I had to laugh when I read this because I did the scream thing myself the other day. Im afraid my excuse was nowhere near as good.
Same as you I was cycling along in my own little world going up a favourite hill with lovely forest all around. Next thing from the corner of my eye I see a flash and a Kamikaze squirrel is making a beeline for me. The scream escapes my lips and the squirrel miraculously slips between the two wheels. I felt so silly that I quickly looked around for witnesses. Lucky not a soul around.
