Late this
afternoon I took my bike up to the Noonday Creek Trail near Woodstock and road
a couple of miles. On the trail I saw
various people doing various exercises: walking, running, biking, walking in
groups and so on. I measured the trail
today from the woof park parking lot to Hwy 92 it is 1.01 miles, just in case
if you are interested.
On one long
stretch of pavement I saw only person way ahead walking towards me. As he got closer I saw he was a very tall and
very skinny old man. Closer I saw he had
a beard. Closer I saw he was covered
with tattoos. His arms, neck, and
forehead were covered with so many tattoos his skin looked blue-purple.
I turned
around when the trail reached Highway 92.
I forgot about the tall skinny old tattooed man until up ahead I saw a
huge stick figure on the side of the trail in some grass doing jumping jacks.
What a
scene! He looked like a typical Tim
Burton animated character. If only he
had a top hat on he would fit the bill. He kept doing long and high jumping
jacks. He jumped jacked back on the
pavement. He looked like a extended stick man jumping.
Now, he was
in my way. I rung my Pee-Wee Herman bike
ringer and hollered, "ON YOUR LEFT!"
He did not
move to get out of my way.
I cut
through the grass on the left side as I passed him, I said, "COMING
THROUGH!" And looked over at
him. He made no sign of responding to my
warning. His eyes were glazed.
And he had
on earphones, of course he couldn't hear me.
There is no
other explanation, he was straight off
Tim Burton's draft table.
