So, I'm riding my bike into work this morning. It's a little before 6:00 a.m. and it's still dark, so I've got the light mounted on my handlebars turned on. I had to stop my bike twice and wait for people to go past me. The first guy's light is so bright I could see him coming down the bike path (an old rail bed) almost a mile away. The other guy is a walker with a light mounted on a hat, and the @!@#$@! moron points his head to look at me as he walks past. Is it really necessary to have your phaser set to kill that early in the morning? :sigh:

If it was very bright light early morning, that how can you be sure, it was a guy :P It was a preety girl :-D
Both of them said hello as we passed each other. I don't know too many pretty girls with voices that deep :suss:.

My wife's grandfather Oscar was a coal miner, and was familiar with handling dynamite. One day the shift supervisor asked him to remove a tree stump next to the office shack, because the guy wanted a space to park his car. Oscar removed the stump using several sticks of dynamite. He also removed about half of the office shack, which was fortunately unoccupied at the time :omg:.

So, a lot of female coworkers, huh? "No, I wasn't ogling you... I just didn't want to blind you!"

Oscar was also a bit 'over-enthusiastic' at times when he was a young man :-D. At 90, he's still quite a character.

Why don't you try a pogo stick? You would be in and out of the beam. Or you could ride a Big Wheel - remeber those, that would put you under the beam. Or maybe get your mom to drive you.

So the guy got TWO parking spaces! Now that's efficiency. ;)

delete this;Last time I wore a hat with a light was back in the 70's. When I was a teen we hunted raccoon at night, and the goal was to light up his eyes (evil yellow glow), then aim your .22 between them. We always made a point NOT to look directly at each other because then you're stumbling blindly through the woods. Not even remotely on-topic, but it was the only light-on-my-head-at-night story in my repertoire. :laugh:
