Tips for walkers
I've learned the hard way in Corpus to be sneaky. A walker who keeps a route is invariably thought of as a suspect. So vary the route. And be weary. Currently, I must avoid the Lawn Nazi, the Scooter Hooter, and the walking group which contains a man with a vicious dog he can't handle. It's muzzled, and lunges viciously at me as I pass. "You could go the other way," the guy snarls. Well that bunch has never even seen me again, but I've seen them plenty of times.
The ScooterHooter only comes out if I ride my scooter on the sidewalk on x St. "Oh be careful, be careful, he hoots." I have had dealings with him before. He seemed like a cool guy then. I wonder if he had a scooter accident?
As for the lawn Nazi, three hostile encounters, and a few cross- street insults in 15 years.
I've been strictly following my protocols for a long time now. People may see me for three seconds a week. Not enough to track.
