December 16, 2004 - Thursday,10:09 p.m. As I drove by I recalled that I knew that bikes are heavy, really heavy, and that often if a guy has a big bike and they go down, they have a hard time picking up the bike. The thoughts just played in my mind, and I knew how it wouldn't have done me any good to stop as I couldn't help him. I began to approach the Circle exit as I pondered this and there was another guy sitting on a bike under one of the lights on the freeway. Again, this guy was all in leather, long hair, the whole ten yards. I don�t know why, but I was instantly sure that they were together and that he was waiting on his friend. I pulled off on the shoulder and came up behind him. It was dark, so all he could really see was the headlights of the car. He watched me pull up, I am sure he was wondering who was stopping and what they wanted. I got out of my car and walked towards him. He was pretty nonchalant, he didn't even really react, though I am sure he was surprised to see that I was a woman and had gotten out of my car. I asked him, "Are you riding with another guy?" He said something like "Why?" I said, "Cuz there was a guy back there in the median and his bike was down, he didn't look hurt, but I think he might need some help." He thanked me, started his bike and left. I got back in my car and proceeded on to work. I often wonder what he thought, and if that guy really did need help... and if he was surprised that I stopped and got out of the car to talk to him... For some reason I have a pretty protective streak for bikers... probably that college boyfriend I had that road a bike� it�s never left me. * * * * * * * * * * * * * The afternoon passed and I headed for home just after 5 pm. The evening has been quiet. Philip got home, nice to have him here. Josh and Dan have dropped by to see Justin; he should be home on break in another half hour. Moon, Philip, Josh and Dan are sitting in the living room and visiting now. Ah� there is Kyle now. He�s stopped by on HIS break from work. It�s busy here at night. I like the commotion. It�s nice, and I know one day it�ll really be quiet every night, I�ll miss the activity of everyone coming and going all the time. I can�t see what is down the road. I don�t know what, if anything will happen with Mark. But for right now, it is really nice to think of the possibilities, to daydream a little. Sweet dreams. |
