About 15 or so years ago, before Nose Hill Park became the crowded, paved place it is today, I was out on my mountain bike pounding across some trails when I launched over a rise and what do I see right on the other side nearly beneath my wheels but a young, college-age lass, leaning back on her elbows on a blanket, sunning herself sans top, steepled book beside her . . . . . and a mighty nice sight she was.

I managed to stay mounted on the bike and gave her a long glance from not more than ten feet and received a defiant grin, versus a come-hither smile, offered a smile in return, a last glance, a shake of the head and then was on my way, leaving her to her day.

There was the proverbial dirty-old-man walking in her direction nearby, likely by stone-cold accident, but I didn't hang around to see how that might have worked out.

Anyhoo . . . . . NO, not everyone stops to get a knob-polish, even the married guy, in that situation . . . . . although I probably ended up pounding my head against a tree later on with second thoughts. Or bad thoughts.

And, bonus, for being a class act I guess I avoided getting arrested!!!
