have any of you seen the homeless man on university avenue? he's been there for years. i graduated a long time ago from college and i remember seeing him my freshman year.
in the daytime, he doesn't look too shabby and ty and i always laugh that he probably owns a large mansion and sleeps there at night.
well...this morning i was almost to will's pit stop, my turnaround point. along that stretch of road there are almost no lights, and when it's early, early, early in the morning and no sun, i get a little scared. so i'm puffing along and all of a sudden 10 feet in front of me is a large black hooded blob pushing a cart. holy poop he looked exactly like a serial killer.
i grabbed my heart, gasped and jumped out of the way. i kept watching my back every minute or so to make sure he didn't turn around and slaughter me. yeah, he does not sleep in a mansion at night, he's still out walking the streets.and mumbling to himself. scary.

There was a guy in Reno who was probably 7ft tall and had knock knees, we called him "crazy legs". He would stand at the intersection by the walmart we always went to. Every time I had to stop at the stop sign I almost peed my pants, and I was in my car!! Good luck and maybe you should try a differnt route!
Ha ha ha! I have lived in that area my whole life and that guy has been there for as long as I can remember! I can't believe he is still around. That is crazy scary.

That is pretty scary. I was talking to my Uncle Kevin about him one day. Cause he hangs out close to his house you know... He said he is really nice and completely harmless. In fact he has brought him meals before. He says he likes living out on the street. And has no home. But, usually anyone who looks like that is scary. Even though my uncle told me that. I would still be scared running by him somehow.
I've never seen him-Now i have to! If I was ever getting kidnapped i would freak out-sit down-eat grass and pee my pants. on purpose...then maybe they wouldn't want anything to do with me. Lol
you better have mace, a siren, and a cell phone in your cold little fists at all times lady!
Is that the guy that looks like Willie Nelson? That's a long way to push a cart.
ahhh...sweet he's still there...I used to see him almost every morning at my turn around by Will's Pit Stop...I told Sam...if I ever go missing...it's because of that guy...eventually it made me feel safe seeing him...glad to see he's now keeping you safe!!
Miss you!!!
Ok, seriously NO RUNNING IN THE DARK ALONE!!!! Get a running partner and carry mace and cell phone. Yep, I'm paranoid but so far so good...
