05.17.07: Who are the people in our neighborhood?

Over the course of the past year, we’ve befriended many folks (from a distance) who pass by our window at Cactus. And we think, this is as good as time as any to share a few thoughts and ask a few questions — just in case any of them are reading this.

Pregnant Lady: What was it a boy? Girl? Did you get the teething rings we left on the sidewalk for you? If not, perhaps that’s why we never got a thank you card. Hmm?

Old Guy in Three-Piece Suit: You make us sad.

Yellow-Helmet Guy: Was it love at first glance that day when you passed by yellow-helmet girl? We thought so. Keep the sex safe.

‘Proto’ (kid with white-fro on skateboard): Your practice and determination paid off, you finally landed an Ollie. But seriously, how are things at home? We’re concerned.

Shirtless Men-a-Plenty: It’s purely because of your confidence that we keep tally of you. Nothing more.

Guy Who Rides the, Old Fashioned ‘Penny-Farthing’ Bicycle: Listen, we know you probably have three-to-four other means of transportation. And that you’re riding just to show-off. But in our book, you’re still the cat’s pajamas.

I have decided that despite it probably being proper biking etiquette, I do not enjoy the loud announcement of an approaching rider. LEFT, I hear as I am walking along, peacefully ignoring my surroundings and gabbing on the cell phone. How do I react? Move left? Move right? Aw, the simple solution: freeze in terror and pray the rider knows what he meant by LEFT!! Because I certainly do not. So please Mr. Biker, next time just wizz on by me with no announcement. True, I will curse you and shake a fist. But you will already be riding into the sunset none the wiser.

You said shirtless men-a-plenty? Hey, I don't have any of those on my side of the building!

Anyway I always love nice thoughtful people, especially when they’re our neighbors. A couple of days every week when I walk in there is this young guy who rides his bike on the same side walk and when he comes up to pass me he gets off his bike and walks it, then once past he resumes riding. I don’t know why he does it but I think it’s polite. Sometimes when I hear a bike zooming up behind me I get a bit paranoid that I might get run over. Sounds a little silly I’m sure but I once was run over by a bike rider, more specifically a speeding bike courier. Well I just want to say thanks for your thoughtfulness young bike rider.
