If I had been alone, I could have yelled for help. The second time, I was on a well populated walking trail and guess what. No one stopped, even to ask if I was OK. Again, my spouse was there with me, and perhaps that is why no one stopped. But that was a bit scary. bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589840841266507266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-67647639019614494852016-06-25T15:41:31.015-04:002016-06-25T15:41:31.015-04:00You are right.
