Walking this morning

I got in about 7 miles this morning because Saturday morning I will be busy.

I was just thinking weird stuff happens on Sherman. Sherman is past Canal before Navigation parallel to those streets. But it is one of the few that continues without break for several miles. There are homes and businesses on Sherman. It is both major road and residential street. Or rather it is totally neither.

I like walking down Sherman but there have been strange things that happened.

This morning a older woman came out of her house, saw me walking towards home with bags full of plastic bottles. Yes I am a weird sight.

She asked me how far I had been. I answered her. She then said, "No, no, how far do you have to go?" I said "Not far." She repeated, "How far?" So I said, "About two miles." She said, "Your going to Milby right?" She seemed to be wanted to know where I lived and I was reluctant to tell her. So I responded, "I'm OK." And I turned and kept walking. I pretty much closed down the conversation.

What was her motive? I was thinking maybe she wanted to take me home. I surely was not going to allow her to take me home. I don't know her. I want to extend my walk.

Any way I am suspicious. I wondered what her idea was. It might have been well meaning but it seemed misguided.
