I'm Home
I'm Home,
What a day. I found out I am important. To make a short story long this is how it went. I was just going to get a bite to eat so I didn’t carry a water bottle or anything but had my little riding shorts and shoes, and away I went. I got to this nice little eating place where I locked my bike to the rail, took off gloves, helmet and sunglasses. Walked over and like to have pulled the handle off the door and broke two nails to find out the place was closed. I thought I would ride to a Carl’s Jr. and get the low carb burger. So I took off to go around the Ontario Airport, as I started around I thought I would take a look at the new airport, I have flown out of it many times but never got a good look at it. So I cut into the new airport and started riding around looking at all the new sites and runways and stuff when I noticed a Fed-Ex BIG Plane pull up and turn and it looked like the pilot was waving at me out the window so I waved back, he sure liked my bike and gear because he held up one finger meaning I was number one, I waved at him some more (boy those planes sure are big up close). The airport people sure were glad I came by; I looked in my rear view mirror and noticed I had a police escort right behind me with lights, the nice young officer was hanging out the window waving at me so I waved back at him. As I went by the new terminal people were waving and saying “hang in there old man” I didn’t like the old man part but I figured it was all a gesture of love so I waved and keep peddling. Before long two real nice young police officers came up beside me on real nice mountain bikes with red lights, the offices had on shorts and gun belts and batons and everything, nice looking young men. They rode with me a little ways then asked me to pull over that they liked my bike and wanted to take a better look so I pulled over and stopped. They sure liked my bike and another officer had a big black dog that ran up to me, I thought he was going to pee on my bike but he just smelled the big black bag on the back of my bike before the nice bike office opened it. They seemed to be real nice to me until they looked in my helmet and saw the tinfoil liner I was using for An Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie (AFDB) then they got real serious for a few minutes. A nice sergeant came by and he asked the bike officers to ride home with me to be sure I made it ok and not to let me take to many short cuts on the way. I told them that I was on my way to get a burger at Carl’s Jr. and I offered to buy if they wanted to go with me so away we went, those two guys were real good riders and had no trouble keeping up with me. I rode around the end of the airport and wanted to stop and look at all the new UPS planes but the officers said they didn’t have time today they were hungry so maybe we should just go eat. We were cutting through a bunch of warehouses when I rode between some safety cones and the next thing I knew I was in the middle of a lot of guys all dressed in racing clothes and riding big buck bikes, two of them grabbed me and pulled me right along with then and we went around these two big city blocks two times before I came flying out of the group and ran off on another street were all these people were holding something called the “Pacific Sunset Velo Dare Race”. I took off up the street and got away from there as fast as I could go, I don’t know what happened to the cops but after three blocks here come those two nice police officers again. Boy were they a mess, the first one bad his gun belt turned around until it looked like a jock strip, he was missing three spokes where his baton had got into his wheel making his wheel track funny, the other one had his pants about pulled off him, his right boot was sole less where he had got it into his spokes and his wheel was wobbling about five inches as he rode as hard as he could to catch up with me. I must say right here that I had to rethink my opinion of those young men, they cussed me and called me a crazy old man right to my face. They said they thought it was best if I just went home right now that they had all my BS they wanted. I turned towards my house and started pulling against the wind and those two young men were sure having a hard time keeping up with those bikes “they” had messed up. When I got a few blocks from the house I started to take a short cut across the railroad yard but those guys got real upset and I was getting a little tired of them complaining all the time anyway I just went through the underpasses and into my yard, the nice young cops didn’t wave good bye or anything as they rode off but they must have got some flies or something in there eyes because they were sure shaking their heads. Burr #6 PS: I think their sergeant bad to pick them up in a truck because their bikes wouldn’t go much further. |

Burr #6 I liked your first version better, whether true or not. I notice that you gave up on Earthstink - hope Verizon works better. Howard Earthlink free for 3 weeks..... |
