Transgender woman living near me.

I was coming out of my local shop when I caught glimpse of a tallish woman in short skirt, nice legs almost as nice as mine.
Anyway the face was a giveaway. It was familiar too. I'd seen her before in a shop on the other side of the city.
As we passed I nodded to her as she had seen me looking. So I did what any self respecting nosey parker does. I followed her not in a stalky way but a very long way back. I lost her when she went round a corner but she must have gone into one of the houses on that road.
I do admire her because she rocked that skirt. If I see her again I may say hello. Don't worry it's that kind of area. A real community where no one is really a stranger and it's not unusual to speak to people you don't really know. Rare enough in this day and age. So it won't be totally creepy.

Not "totally." *giggles*

I love being Canadian.

Here it isn't considered 'weird' to talk to strangers

It's like that here too, Lesley. In the city as a whole it's not unusual to exchange a greeting or comment about the weather.
But the area I live in is more like a village in many ways and has a distinct community feel. You're not invisible here. I regularly exchange greetings with people I don't know or only know because I see them around especially near and in the shops. She will have been noticed. She isn't exactly hiding either.
No I won't be accosting her randomly and introducing myself. But I might smile and nod or say hello if it's appropriate. In fact it happens to me all the time. Coming from a bigger and less friendly city I find it refreshing.

But, if you ever worked the flight deck of a carrier and got close to the intakes of an A-6...


I saw the aftermath of what happens when a green shirt walks through a propeller of an A-1 Skyraider. Yuck!

Sweet Baby Jesus in a Barn, Michaela! I can't even begin to imagine.

Not sure of relevance to the original topic. But interesting nonetheless. Jet engines will gobble you up without salt. As you can see you can be sucked in even from the side. I worked in jet engine maintenance company. Occasionally we'd hear of people getting sucked into engines without the happy result seen. It nearly happened in our test cell when an engine they were working on went to full power without warning. One guy had to jump ten foot from the platform to escape.
Another time I frightened myself badly when I parked my plane and was walking over to my bosses plane to talk to him when I realised I was heading straight towards the moving propeller. I still get shivers thinking of that.
