a Groundhog Day moment

The Pies: Pumpkin Pie and Q.T. Pie

About 8 AM yesterday, I walked The Pies on the one-mile loop that we’ve walked every weekend morning (weather permitting) ever since The Pies were old enough to walk.

As we cleared the top of the hill at the half-way point, I saw a blue Subaru wagon parked at the end of the road. It belongs to a retired gent, who hikes with his dog through the woods every morning. Next, I saw the gent and his dog exit the woods. The gent opened the back hatch of his wagon to let the dog in the car and as the gent got in the car, he waved to us, then got in the car and drove away just as The Pies and I reached the location where he was parked. Just as he pulled away, a low-flying, single-engine prop airplane flew overhead in a southerly direction.

This morning, I walked The Pies again at about the same time and the exact same things happened, i.e., saw Subaru parked at the end of the road, saw gent and dog exit woods, gent lifted hatch for dog to get in car, get waved, then got in car and drove away as a low-flying, single-engine prop airplane flew overhead in a southerly direction.

Weird!
