Skepticism

I think it’s gotta to be my favorite lil encounters these days, and it’s coming in all shapes and sizes. Doesn’t affect me like it used to. Can’t tell if I have grown or just lost my mind. Either way it feels great and I’m not changing it. It makes me laugh every time, it  makes me behave in ways I can’t help anymore. For instance being at the gym assisting my partner in crime, Chick. I mean yeah, okay maybe it’s a bit crazy that a 67 year old woman is lightly demanding we go up the stairs to the gym floor because she needs more of a work out since she broke her foot dumping her motorcycle practicing/teaching the green rider (yeah, me Alice) for a 50 state motorcycle ride in her boot and crutch’s, and I am undoubtedly assisting. Whilst people stare, even if you aggressively stare back chuckling at them. You know exactly what they’re thinking in their stunned state, while they watch this whole ordeal.  The woman in the locker room just starring at the whole sight of a woman coming to work out in crutches and a boot. Then going to a biker party at the bar, letting Chick do all the talking because I am high alert making sure she’s not getting knocked over by a drunk accidently. She’s excitedly explaining what we are about and what we intend to do. I watch the eyes move to size us up, and the then the questioning “What’s the longest you’ve rode?” He asked Chick. I really do think it was best I wasn’t doing the talking this go, because all I wanted was to pop back with was “Men or motorcycles?”  Whilst blankly starring at him. Now, sure maybe I should be more understanding, not like Chick and I are in denial about our situation, and how it LOOKS to the outsiders, however there is one thing Chick and I are extraordinarily versed in with countless years of experience combined together, Being underestimated. We handle it with nothing but laughter together. They do not know where we have come from, how far we have both traveled, and far we are willing to go. So, hats off to Chick, one of the most badass bitches I’ve ever met!
