Note that I am white, she is Chinese, Shanghai-born. We were walking along, holding hands--but it was chilly out so our hands were in my jacket pocket. This was back when you saw little affection in public. A guy came along on a bicycle and was looking at us far more than looking at where he was going--and at the last instant realized he was about to hit a telephone pole and just barely avoided doing so. Unlike Mary he was going straight at the time, he just hadn't looked far enough ahead.)Loren Pechtelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08348494458707790769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809371631407381115.post-51934664214673088322017-09-01T20:31:34.527+03:002017-09-01T20:31:34.527+03:00I walked into a tree once.
