six o’clock — flagpole.
i had a weird run home today. it was hot. i wore a dorky running cap. it makes me look less than tough. however, i reckon that if i refuse to wear sunscreen (chemicals!), i should probably wear the cap.
the weird part of the run came while i was headed up 12th ave. i crossed paths with another running commuter. i waved (because it’s seattle), and his reply was to pound his right fist into his left palm and give me a hard look. i’m not sure if this was a misguided attempt at showing some sort of tough-as-nails running-commuter solidarity or if he was threatening me because of my dorky cap. any guesses?

was he maybe challenging you to rock-paper-scissors?

In American Sign Language, that gesture means “I like fisting”. Probably.

if i had known that he enjoyed fisting rock-paper-scissors contestants, i probably would have done nothing differently, except maybe wear my ‘rock-paper-scissors northwest regional champion’ tshirt.
