my best guess - 2004-09-22 18:50:52
is that this is a kind blogreader who recognized certain key details from the blog. If someone held a gun to my head I'd guess this man was (drumroll) Rustboy. And I wasn't kidding. It was nice to meet him--I got the impression that this gentleman is a fine, upstanding person.

Couple days ago a hipster dude in a really cool skull and bones T-shirt gave me a very knowing smile in front of the firehouse--Ypsidixit guesses this gentleman (nice glasses!) is another kind blogreader.

The blog people. They're out there.

Ypsidixit, a former bodybuilder who won trophies at a two-state meet in high school for bench pressing and squatting, turns her silver-helmeted, sunglassed face with silent yet very intimidating menace towards anyone ignorant enough to use the term "girlie-men" non-ironically, unlike Brett.

I just object to the ignorant use of "girly-men" to signify weakness. Ridiculous. At any rate, back to the mystery greeter.

Ok, I admit it. I find myself looking around for a certain distinctive bicycle when I am out walking my dogs. ;) Havent seen you yet though.

Well, that is nice, thank you Lynne. I also admit that, armed with the memory of the photo on the Lynne site, I keep an eye out for a dog person, without success so far. In fact I half-thought I saw you today on the secret path, but it appears not. One of these days (we need a meetup maybe).

Incidences like that are the single greatest thing about Ypsi. You just never know what you are going to see, hear, meet, or find. It's why, for the first time in my life, I actually love a city.

You're right, that's a good observation; there is something very Ypsi-ish in such an encounter; it was fun.
