    Heh, my hubby's younger cousin used to sing that ALL the time! We tease her about it, now. She will be graduating college in a couple of months.

    Glad things got semi-resolved with the scary guy. I live in the boonies and think about this on my solo rides.

    We all have our own personal earworms, but not having kids around me I hadn't heard of two of them here - "The Song that Never Ends" and "The Song That Gets on Everybody's Nerves" ...

    so of course I had to go to You Tube and check them out I am alone so there was no one to say "step away from the keyboard Catrin, you don't want to know what those songs are"

    Oh I knew better than that! Songs I never heard and can tell I don't need to.

    Except.... now that you've got me thinking about songs that loop around to the beginning...

    There was an old man named Michael Finnegan
    He had whiskers on his chinnegan
    Along came the wind and blew them in again.
    Poor old Michael Finnegan! Begin again....

    Staceysue-

    So glad things seem to be less dangerous than they appeared. I hope they continue to improve for you, and that you don't have any more scary incidents.

    Oh that's good news!! Now you know what you are working with and hopefully you'll feel like riding your old circuit again.

    I feel dumb for being as scared as I was - but he's such a big guy and I had been warned about that other guy being dangerous and got them confused. I guess I'm not as together as I thought I was. Maybe I do scare too easily - but when I was younger I didn't scare easily enough and nearly got myself hurt that way. Maybe some day I find a happy middle!

    Don't feel dumb. Sounds to me like you were being very sensible. It's creepy and threatening behavior. Now that you know the guy is harmless, now you can behave accordingly, but I would definitely not have assumed from his behavior that he was harmless! And you mentioned that other people have confused this guy with someone else who was not harmless, either, so it wasn't just you. I'd say you're plenty "together."

    Anyway I'm glad it all feels safer to you now. Happy riding!

    One of the not so great perks of getting older is the feeling of vulnerability. You were just exercising your right to self-preservation.
