Notable events of the past two days:
Sunday:
While rock climbing: a mentally disabled woman attempts to attack my me, my partner, and dog while crying "Evil! Die! BAD, BAD!" - Thwarted by her father.
Later she exacts her revenge by grabbing my coffee off the trail, taking a swig, popping the plastic lid off and dumping the remaining half cup straight into my left boot which was sitting innocently astride. Again, she is paternally prempted. Minutes later however she returns to finish her work, slurping the remaining caffeine drops from the parted lid and carefully upending the cup itself so it sits nicely emptied, upside-down, perfectly aside my climbing rope. This is not a joke.
Monday:
A man stops me on the walk directly in front of my building to congratulate me. He remembers when "the first one of you moved onto this block. It was December '05. Well after 911" of course. He is, naturally, a "Nation-of-Islam-raised-racist-mother-fucker". Clearly I've made a new friend, given by the amount of hand shaking and back patting going on.
Later on Monday:
A black couple - man dressed all in black with a white hat, woman dressed all in white with black hair walk into the coffee shop. The argument disappears to the back room, but his leather bag and leather gloves remain sitting next to me, awaiting his reclamation.
