Living in a small town, it is very evident when college resumes each fall. We get an over-abundance of fearless 18-21 year-olds that walk out into traffic on the state hiway in town because they know we have to stop for them. They move in herds and you have to add an additional 5 minutes to compensate for the crossing of the college students. Five minutes doesn’t seem like a lot, but it really only takes about 10 minutes to drive across town.
Saturday, the girls and I went to the convenience store and saw some of those same suicidal students participating in the activities available on campus during these first few weekends. We pulled up to see a young man sporting a purple flowered bicycle helmet donning an oversized tricycle with big ape-hanger handlebars. Before we can make it out of the Pilot, four students wearing a pair of GINORMOUS tighty-whities came flying out of the convenience store. All four of them were in the one pair of underwear. I’m not even kidding. Then they all ran off back across the hiway (not in the cross-walk either) and the guy on the tricycle peddled as fast as he could without tipping over just to keep up with them.
It was funny and I didn’t have my camera with me :(
