The douche thing. Uh... do you happen to live in/near a neighborhood known for prostitution? I'm not trying to be mean with that question. I live a couple miles away from something called Aurora Ave, which for years was the strip known for the stereotypical 'skanky streetwalker hooker'. The stuff I find on the ground there includes condoms and a lot of douche. YIKES. HOWEVER. Check this out. Today on my run, I got chased by a dog for the first time in years. I also spotted a possum in a tree (not on the ground). What I did NOT see... but read about after my run... was the 250 pound black bear that may be roaming the area immediately around my house: http://www.king5.com/topstories/stories/NW_051809WAB-AP_black-bear-ballard-roaming-JM.1586829c.html The intersection noted in that story is 2 blocks away from my house. YIPE!

pid="3a322b5e9ac9472daee2d60a892059cd Then another night after my run I was doing my cool down walk when a black bear came out on the path about 50 yards ahead of me. I said "hey bear"!

After we had stood there about 15 minutes the guy got out of the truck with a seriously pissed off look on his face and walked around to the other side to help the "lady" back to her RX8. I am pretty sure this was supposed to be a *ahem* "business transaction" that didn't occur due to our presence.
Wonder if we'll see them again next week.

I always see young fat pimply teens who shout at me "JOGGER!!" and then they proceed to race me to the end of the block at which point I pass them as they double over to catch their breath still laughing at me. Last month one of the teens had a banana and as he passed me he threw the banana at his buddy and laughed.
OK - this is clearly a Mid-Michigan experience and in now way reflects running in West Michigan.
