That’s so un-fair!

They truly are the best in the world. I was starting to regret missing the Harvest Fair in favor of camping, but I guess I made the right choice. I heard the tomato taste-off was canceled too. Bummer. I know it's rude to laugh at someone falling on the ground...but damn, that is funny. Sorry you had such a let down with the pickles. They truly are the best in the world.

Heh. Then she criticized me twice for having the temerity to ask, "Are you okay?" because how was she to know? Nobody knows how they are after falling! What a stupid question! I offered to give her a hand up -- as one does -- and she snapped at me again. Hoo-kay. I can appreciate that sprawling headlong is embarrassing, but still, looks to me like somebody went to the Rabid Attack Dog school of etiquette. Why I ask people if they're okay: if they can't answer, "Yes," in a clear voice, then something may well be very wrong. As in the person I picked up off the sidewalk last month, who was suffering from mild heatstroke. If someone falls in front of me, and I'm sure that their head has at least come very near the ground, then of <em>course</em> I am going to check them for lucidity. That communication has a reasonable purpose. I was not just <em>twittering</em>, thank you. Argh. Well, she was lucid, no doubt about that. Crabby, but lucid. Oddly enough, Attack Lady was pretty friendly, in her bitchy way. But, jeez, I was feeling glad not to have to live with her. One crabby lady in the house is enough. Yeah. Heh.

Always creating a nuisance! One woman even went sprawling on the pavement because she was looking at our bike instead of at where she was going.
