Weirdest thing happened today. Walking on the beach path near the pier in Santa Barbara today and a guy passes me on a road bike. As I'm watching him go by I realize that I used to own that bike way back in college or back in high school - don't remember which. Not "that type of bike", but THAT bike! An ancient Raleigh frame, same color handlebar tape, spray paint job I did way back when (original metallic red with Schwinn blue dropouts/derailleur hanger I brazed on). Very surreal. Last I saw it when I got rid of it was probably 25 years ago or more at a garage sale in a city 40 miles away. He probably freaked out when I exclaimed "Hey, that's my bike!" Whoaa, that took me back. |

Imagine that feeling on semi daily bases with not such positive thoughts and might understand what PTSD is like for some of us vets who can't function in society. Food for thought...... |

I had a similar experience recently. I let my neighbors kids play in the yard and one of them came around to my back garage/open porch area asking if I'd seen his baseball. In an instant I realized I was standing in the exact same spot my father was 15 years ago and I had asked that same question, expect the roles were now reversed. It blows the mind to think that you can stand in the EXACT same spot as 15 years ago but it be a whole different situation

Didn't happen to me, but a strange incident anyway. A friend's who is an avid golfer got a dozen of personalized golf balls from his father for Christmas. 25 years later another friend found one of the balls in a water hazard and gave it to him. Very strange... |

I'm more surprised that it, apparently, hasn't been converted to a fixie. You probably wouldn't have recognized it if it had, though. |
