Public Safety Power Shutoff All-Clear

I got the all clear at 8:20 pm yesterday evening.

Trainer got it much earlier. A message hit his phone about halfway through my workout yesterday morning.

Trusting the all-clear Trainer received, I thought it safe enough to head to the market after to replace the freezer items I'd lost during the outage.

Turning into the lot, who did I see but Bicycle Boy lounging on his bike, across the street from the Pain Cave, just outside the market's parking lot.




Bicycle Boy is the resident who bullied other residents since before I arrived on the complex, would leave spittle on Big Linda’s truck, keyed Big Linda’s truck, physically fought with my old buddy Apache, destroyed the shrine set up for Shadow after Shadow passed away, and had in August "gotten into it" with a new resident who wanted no parts of him, asked to be moved to an upstairs unit, away from the ground floor, because the ground floor made it too easy for Bicycle Boy to harm him.

That resident was granted his move and BB was finally, after all these years, served with eviction papers back in September.

For a while after the eviction, residents lived in fear Bicycle Boy would come back and "do something" in retaliation.

He was observed biking through the complex once, shortly after that eviction. Now here he is lurking in the area.

Hmmmmmm?

He’d disappeared by the time I’d exited the store and I’ll bet dollars to donuts he bicycled his way through the complex just to unnerve residents, let them know he’s not forgotten us.

  2. I feel somewhat bad for people who seem to live in anger. It's sad all the time.
    But he's gone, so that's the up side!

    1. Things are better for quite a few residents that he targeted with him not living on the property.

  3. Sounds like he should be served with a restraining order to stay away from the complex and maybe surrounding neighborhoods. What a creep. Linda in Kansas

    1. Good point. They got a restraining order on my buddy Apache, so why not Bicycle Boy. Especially since Apache was not a threat, he had friends here that invited him to visit. Bicycle Boy has no friends here.

    1. I agree and actually looked into it as a career back in the day.

    2. My sister’s best childhood friend did it. Her stories were hilarious. I think she enjoyed it for all her disguises. She loved wigs.

  5. He sounds like a real charmer. Not. I agree, you would make a good investigator.

  6. Looks like he spotted you taking his picture. Maybe you should get a Doberman!

    1. Actually no. He was looking in my direction but, at the distance I was, he didn't seem to be able to focus on me, what with all the other activity going on around me. It was like Where's Waldo. He looked but didn't see. No Doberman needed because, believe it or not, he liked me ... at first. Even flirted with me, though married with "You're a nice lady and I'm not really married to her". Stopped talking to me, would not look at me, looked in other direction when our paths crossed when he learned I was friends with people he didn't like, which was fine by me.

  7. Bicycle Boy needs to run into an enforced Restraining Order or a well-deployed spike belt! Another cowardly creep with a curdled psyche.
