I used to ride my bike while my dad ran in the evenings, when I was a kid. When we passed people, they'd acknowledge us- you'd always wave or say hi. That's still the case in a lot of places.
I have been running/walking alternately with the dogs in the mornings, at least 4 days a week. It's working out well for me and the dogs, so that's good.
Anyway. There are at least two men who run in the early mornings- they both always wave to me and say good morning.
The jogging bitches, however, are a different story.
First of all, they both wear matching jackets with the reflective stripe, and they both are talking effortlessly as they jog past me.
Secondly, they have never once acknowledged my prescence in any way.
The first time I saw them, I waved- and nothing. Did they not see me?
This is not likely. I have two panting 90 lb. dogs, and I am gasping for air, so I am not exactly inconspicuous. The second time I saw them, I said, "HI!"
Nothing. And I know they heard and saw me, because they stopped talking when they rounded the corner of the street I was on.
Ooooookay. Am I polluting their air with my fatness? Are they anti-dog? What the hell?
I don't know why this bothers me so much. but it does: I want to find out where they live and let my dogs defile their begonias.
