Momma Bear

Last night, in the middle of the UCLA game at half time, I took Peyton with me to get fro yo as I’d gotten free yogurt for my birthday.  We went, and she enjoyed the few spurts of three different flavored she got as did I.  While we were headed back, I stopped to get gas.  The only pump I found was at the edge, against the street.  There wasn’t a lot of traffic on the street, but there were cars here and there at the pumps.  No one was behind me or on the opposite pump from me. I left the keys in the car for Peyton to continue listening to the radio.  Normally I take my keys with me if I’m alone.  Or I’ve had the phone on blue tooth and let my mom talk to Peyton while I get gas.  But that wasn’t happening either.  I ran my card and entered the zip.  Just as I lifted the pump up, an older man dressed in decent clothing came walking up to me.  There were no other cars around, so I knew he was coming up to me.  I didn’t feel comfortable, given the situation so I kept my hand on the trigger of the pump with it aimed at him.  Turns out he was coming to speak to me.  He stopped a few feet from me and asked me, “Can you spare a dollar?”  I quickly told him no while continuing to face him with the hose.  He walked away while I turned back to my car.  I was ready to shoot fas all over had he made a move closer.  I pumped the gas which seemed to take forever.  A car then pulled behind me with another opposite me.  That man was on the phone and had a white coat draped over his driver’s seat.  He was talking about antibiotics and diarrhea so I assumed he was a physician. I was a little relieved.  But then another man was approaching me. It promotes cell growth order viagra no prescription and increases size of the penis in erect condition. It also benefits in the better flow of cialis online no prescription browse that pharmacy shop blood in the penile region. Medical uses of Kamagra At its viagra on line australia inception this medication was introduced in the market way back in 1998 and has now became popular ever since then. They simply open their laptop and place order for desired pack of the medicine in 5 viagra order cheap minutes.  Shaggy and disheveled.  He had poor dentition and shuffled over to ask me, “Do you have any change?”  I had just taken the hose out and wasn’t sure it would still fire gas. I knew it would take too long to reswipe the card.  Luckily he went away too but I honestly can’t remember the last time I had two people ask me in the same tank of gas for money!! I was in MTN off a busy street.  I got back in the car a bit shaken and proceeded home.  While I was in the car, I recounted with Peyton a story Dave had told me earlier in the morning.  While they waited for their breakfast order outside, Peyton saw a lady park her bike against the tree opposite their bikes.  She told Dave, “Watch out!”  I asked if she was talking to him or the lady.  Dave said he thought it was him as she wouldn’t normally talk to strangers.  Peyton said the lady had a dark blue sweatshirt and scarf.  Dave said the lady was wearing a full ninja hood and mouth covering.  He couldn’t see her face at all.  He stared into the restaurant looking for their food as it was taking awhile for the order.  Peyton told me the lady asked them for mone and daddy said, “No, man.”    What Dave told me was quite the contrary.  He said she came up to him, pulled down her hood to reveal a shaved head and said, “You got a problem with me?” He said he didn’t escalate anything because the kids were around and he didn’t want trouble.  But clearly he thought the lady was off and was looking for it.  Dave kept his eye on her as he didn’t want her to suddenly snap and attack them She’d gotten her food first even though she came in after them.  Again, MTN.  A bit spooky.  It’s too early for Halloween!!  We saw a FB post of some 83 year old who was beaten up by someone in a random unprovoked attack.  He was clotheslined and beaten while he was on the ground.  I am normally pretty scared to walk around and think the worst, but I come into momma bear mode with the sympathetic nervous system in full gear.
