Doug wasn't feeling well tonight so I took Toffee for a solo walk. We could have gone a lot longer, but I had to pee. After we got home, I did my thing, and I took myself out to do that longer walk, since usually a good full half hour is best for me to make sure I get the steps. 40 minutes is optimal. And I was at least 10 minutes shy of what I wanted for the 10k goal of steps.
It was threatening rain, so I knew I wouldn't be out long. I was walking down a street and two young black men were walking towards me. One crossed the street to the other side, and I heard his friend say "why are you crossing the street, like you think she's scared of you?"
I said "Maybe he's scared of me?" The guy on my side of the street laughed a little. "You are just guys out for a walk, like I'm out for a walk, hi." And I opened my arms and hugged the guy.
He laughed. He had cake in his right hand, like a whole ass slice of cake that he was just eating while walking. The way he laughed combined with the slice of cake kind of indicated to me that my dudes were high.
The other guy came back across the street and I said "Hugs from a distance, if you're more comfortable with that," but he came in for a hug. He also had a slice of cake. And he also was laughing.
I asked "Are you gentlement perhaps a little high?"
He laughed and said "Yes ma'am."
I asked about the cake, and the first guy said "oh we got this from his grandma's house but she didn't have any plates for us to take so we just took our slices."
Fair enough. Road cake, I like it.
"Well, you guys can see there's bad weather coming. I checked the radar and there are thunderstorms expected here. within a half hour so get somewhere safe, okay?"
"We're going to our buddy's house. He's up on Vail. But first we wanted to walk by the baseball field because they're still playing and we know a guy on the team."
"Okay, well. Just be safe. Don't get caught out in the storm. Enjoy that cake."
They were already walking away, I should say they were swaying and wobbly a little bit because the gentlemen, yes, they were high.
"Thank you ma'am. You have a nice night."
You too, guys. You too.
I turned right after two blocks and walked up a road I hadn't been on. Hit some pokemon stops, and the rain started to pick up. So instead of walking up to the main road and turning right, and turning right again, I took the cut through road that runs along the "line" between incorporated and unincorporated town. I got home right before the sky opened up.
I hope they made it to their friend's house.
No picture, I tried to get a good one of the ballfield from the hill, but it was blurry. Digits below.
