.... and it happened about six yesterday morning. The clock change had me a bit messed up, so at six o'clock in the ayem I drove off to the local convenience store to get a good cuppa coffee and a copy of The Naples Daily News. As I pulled up to the convenience store I notices a small dark-colored SUV parked there with a VERY expensive bicycle on a rack. I mean expensive ... over $1000 expensive. The engine was running and nobody was in the car. Well, this is stupidity on a grand scale. So I walked in to get my coffee. There at the counter was a tall blond wearing all of the logo-covered spandex biking stuff. I gotta say, she sure did fill out that spandex nicely. But .. no matter: I said "Ma'am. I just saw someone out in the parking lot eying your SUV. You're engine's running, the key is in the ignition and there's nobody in the car." She harrumphed and raced into the parking lot. Seeing nobody she stomped back into the store to finish paying for her coffee. I just looked at her and shrugged: "I guess they ran away when they saw me looking at them." This tall blond had all of the personality of a Gila Monster. Someday someone is going to steal this idiot's car ... I want to be there when she comes running into the parking lot with a panicked look on her face. I doubt her thousand-dollar bicycle would be covered by whatever insurance she has. The quintessential dumb blond.
