around my Condo neighborhood and I was wearing a hoodie, because it was cold and it was around 2:00 - 3:00 in the morning, most everyone was in bed at that time.

A tall black man (towering over me) was getting stuff out of his car, Benji is naturally curious about people and we stopped on the sidewalk just before we reached his car.

I was going to let the man get his stuff out and cross the sidewalk to his unit and then walk on, but the man didn't hear us, he turned around, saw me and grabbed at his chest like Redd Foxx having a heart attack while screaming "O Lord!" I couldn't help but laugh and tell the man I was sorry for startling him.

I didn't mean to scare him but the irony wasn't lost to me as he was a giant of sorts compared to my average height.

Thanks for the thread, kpete.
