Brunette at Highbanks Running Wednesday near 6 pm- m4w (wooded trails)
Date: 2008-07-10, 9:12AM EDT

I passed you twice. The first time you were running with a friend (taller blondish) the second time you were running (quickly) downhill and I was headed uphill. You were wearing a yellow sports bra and black shorts and in a ponytail. I was in black shorts and no shirt. Remember?

OMG, I want my mommy

Columbus is a hotbed for sexual predators, apparently. I did a search on familywatchdog.us and wholly crap:

There’s a guy two streets from where I live that was convicted of rape — those would be the yellow dots.

Re:Re: Hilliard Y today - you wearing all black and doing… - m4w - 30

Why does that make me an asshole? She was alone, wasnt wearing a ring, and wasnt wearing a sign that said “Hi, I am Gary Planter’s Girlfriend”.
