Random Acts of Meaness
I fall victim to random acts of kindness frequently. People willing to give rides, friends picking up the lunch tab etc. But once in a while...there's a random act of meanness. For example last spring I was squirted in the face by a high pressure supersoaker walking to Ryle one night. It startled me, soaked me and deeply hurt my feelings. Today, my bike got a flat tire on the way to work, so I had to walk the rest of the way there and the rest of the way back. On the way back, I encountered to shirtless boys walking on the other side of the street. One boy throws a gravel stone at me.
"Why did you do that? It was very un-kind."
Older boy: "He just rolls that way"
I'm then pelted by stones until I'm out of throwing range.
None of them actually hit me, but damn!
I thought you had to commit adultery for something like that.
Who throws rocks at people for fun?!!
I'm super glad I'm getting out of this town

Hey Liz -- sorry about the meanness -- that stinks! Been thinking about you and am so glad things worked out with the car!! I read your blog regularly but don't comment often. Good to hear things are working out well for you (aside from the stone throwing incident).
Thanks Beth! It is good to know that some one is reading this.
